WEINWISSER: "intensives blaubeeriges Bouquet, verführerischer Veilchenduft und Heidekraut. Am saftigen Gaumen mit ungeheurer Dichte, herrlicher Extraktfülle und energiegeladenem Körper. Im konzentrierten Finale blaue Beeren, Lakritze und feinkörnige Adstringenz. Der beste Lalande de Pomerol dieses Jahr."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Dried peonies and roses with ripe cherries and berries on the nose. Quite structured and tight, with a medium to full body and a flavorful, medium-long finish. Tannins are slightly sinewy. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Chocolate, roses, and black cherries are your introduction in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is fresh, clean, pure, elegant, and refined, finishing with sweetness and lift in the cocoa, and cherry endnotes. You can enjoy this Pomerol look-alike on release if you prefer creamy, youthful fruits, or age it for its secondary characteristics. The wine blends 85% Merlot, with 15% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2038."

VINUM: "Reiffruchtig, offen wie ein Scheunentor, rauchige Noten, dunkler Tabak, Brombeeren, Pflaumen; am Gaumen rund, reichhaltig, zeigt Muskeln, bleibt elegant, markante Gerbstoffe, stützen, im Abgang mit guter Länge und dunkelfruchtigen Rückaromen. Hohes Niveau."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The flagship from this 9-hectare site, the 2024 Château Les Cruzelles is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc vinified all in tank and aged in 50% new oak. Ripe black cherries, red plums, violets, sappy herbs, and graphite all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a nicely balanced, concentrated mouthfeel, ripe yet firmer tannins, and outstanding length."
