Château Croizet-Bages - Pauillac - Red - 2022 :

 

The Quiet Excellence of Pauillac: Château Croizet-Bages

As a Fifth Growth from the Médoc’s 1855 classification, Château Croizet-Bages represents the classic, age-worthy claret from the esteemed Pauillac appellation. Under the committed ownership of the Quié family, this estate consistently produces a wine that balances the traditional power of Pauillac with a modern, generous fruit profile, rooted in the deep gravel of the Bages plateau.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A striking, deep garnet.
• Aroma: An opulent nose of concentrated black fruits (cassis, cherry), layered with complex cedar, cigar box, and a touch of sweet spice from French oak aging.
• Taste: Expressive and well-structured, offering a medium-bodied mouthfeel with ripe, chewy tannins. The wine shows excellent depth and a long, persistent finish that echoes the black fruit and savory notes. A Pauillac that is both powerful and elegantly refined.

Food Pairing & Service

This Grand Vin is best served slightly cool at 15.5°C (60°F). Decant for an hour or more to soften the tannins in younger bottles. It is a benchmark wine for classic UK roasts and a must-have for any serious collector's cellar.
