Château Les CRUZELLES
Red

Mr. Durantou (owner of Église-Clinet who died in 2020) produced only 1500 cases per year of his remarkable Lalande de Pomerol Les Cruzelles. Incomparably superior to the neighbouring Pomerol of the same price.

Bettane & Desseauve : 90-91/100 « Soyeux et fruité avec de la gourmandise dans le tannin croquant. Retour floral en finale, avec de l’énergie et de la fraîcheur. »

J-M Quarin : 91/100 « Couleur sombre, pourpre et intense. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil et même noble. Ultra minutieux en entrée de bouche, très savoureux au milieu, le vin fond sur le palais, juteux, délicat et délicieux. Il s'achève sur une nuance étonnante de fruits noirs. C'est très bon. » 

Vinous (N. Martin): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Les Cruzelles was picked on September 20 and 22 with the Cabernet Franc picked on September 28, and matured in 57% new oak. This has more harmony and sensuality on the nose with a mixture of very pure black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and very well balanced, with supple ripe tannins and real delineation and poise on the finish. This surpasses many Pomerols in this vintage and, given it potential price, comes highly recommended."

Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-94/100 "The 2024 Les Cruzelles is laced with blue/purplish fruit, cloves, licorice, menthol, incense and gravel. Ample and broad, with terrific resonance, the 2024 is super-expressive right out of the gate. There's gorgeous resonance and fine balance here."
