Château Croizet-Bages

The Château Croizet-Bages is located in the hamlet of Bages in the town of Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc. It was founded in the 17th century by the Croizet brothers.

The Château Croizet-Bages will be named Fifth Grand Cru Classé during the famous 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition.

Since 1942, it has belonged to the Quié family, and today it is Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe Quié who govern it with a family passion that has remained intact.

The Château Croizet-Bages looks after a 26-hectare vineyard planted on deep gravel and gravelly sand soils, including 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The wines are aged for 18 months, including 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, with the proportion of new wood ranging from 50 to 55%.

The estate produces a Second wine, Alias de Croizet-Bages.

The Château Croizet-Bages offers generous, fleshy and concentrated wines, where the purity of fruit blends harmoniously with tannins and spices, the hallmark of great Pauillac wines.

Description Château Croizet-Bages 2013.

Pauillacais in essence, Château Croizet-Bages wines are sunny and generous.

To perfect the most delicate blends, Merlot, harvested relatively early, adds roundness to the grand vin. With notes of candied cherry, it expresses all the purity of crisp, charming fruit. Petit verdot, present in very small quantities, gives the wine all its colorful ardor. The backbone of this great wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon, for its part, brings a powerful, long-lasting aroma that will reveal itself after a few years' cellaring. With notes of black fruit and cedar, the tannic structure reveals fatness, fullness and generosity.

Aged for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, the wines are fine and velvety-textured. Rich, deep and elegant, Château Croizet-Bages opens up aromatic horizons of plum, cocoa, spices and leather.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
