Château Les Cruzelles – Lalande-de-Pomerol – Red – 2021:

 

Château Les Cruzelles: The Epitome of Lalande-de-Pomerol Finesse

From the renowned winemaking family of Denis Durantou (Château L’Église Clinet), Château Les Cruzelles stands as the benchmark for its appellation. Grown on deep clay, this Bordeaux red offers a profound density and a magical finesse that rivals its more famous, and often pricier, Right Bank neighbours. A truly outstanding wine for the sophisticated British palate.

The Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

A classic Merlot-dominant blend, showcasing elegance and structure:

• Appearance: Deep, lustrous garnet.
• Aroma: A brooding, complex nose of black plum, mulberry, licorice, and subtle earthy notes reminiscent of tar and mossy bark.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied with a soft texture, fine, grippy tannins, and a lively backbone. The finish is long, saline, and incredibly refined.

Serving Suggestions & Pairing

We recommend decanting for an hour to allow the full aromatic complexity to unfold. Serve slightly below room temperature (17°C).

• Pairings: Traditional Beef Wellington, Roast Lamb with all the trimmings, Game Pie, and fine Mature Cheddar.
• Ageing: Will reward cellaring for up to two decades.
