Ripe black cherries, blueberries, iron, spring flowers, and a touch of chocolaty minerality emerge from the 2019 Château Les Cruzelles, another incredible success from Denis Durantou. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, you should buy a case and drink bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years.
Château Les Cruzelles 2019
Descripción
Un vino que cuenta con una mayor proporción de la variedad Cabernet franc de lo que es usual en la zona de Lalande-de-Pomerol. Equilibrado y lleno de matices para beber con gusto, cuenta con la firma de Denis Durantou, uno de los mejores enólogos de la margen derecha, fallecido en 2020.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2019 Les Cruzelles is another terrific success for an estate that's the reference point for what's possible in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, raw cocoa, orange rind, rose petals and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with beautifully refined tannins and a more tightly wound, structured profile than its sibling in the Durantou portfolio, La Chenade.
Blackberries and blueberries with floral and sandalwood undertones. Medium-bodied with cedar highlights and long, linear tannins. Shows energy and brightness. Try after 2024.
A serious, deep, dark and brooding nose. Bramble fruits and liquorice, this is well built with good structure and weight on the palate. You can taste the ripe, well-handled fruit and overall this has good freshness from start to finish where there is a lovely cooling element. Supple and energetic, but there's also a sharp, woody, sweet cedar element that sticks out on the finish. Needs time to integrate.
