Château Les Cruzelles Lalande de Pomerol 2021

"The 2021 Les Cruzelles is showing considerable promise, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, sweet spices, wild berries and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and impressively deep and concentrated, with lively acids and a saline finish, it's a terrific effort and as usual a benchmark for what is possible in Lalande-de-Pomerol. The 2021 is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc."

"The 2021 Les Cruzelles is gorgeous. A high amount of Cabernet Franc in the blend lends notable aromatic presence and complexity. All the elements are so well balanced. Naturally, the 2021 doesn't have the body of some recent years, but this style is so appealing. Rose petal, sage, mint, sweet spice and crushed raspberry fruit all grace this wonderfully nuanced wine. The 2021 is a bit shy. All it needs is time to emerge." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"This vintage, Noëmie Durantou decided that one lot of Cabernet Franc was so good that she took it out of La Chenade and blended it into the 2021 Les Cruzelles. It has a lovely nose with blackberry, redcurrant, undergrowth and hints of bell pepper, that Cabernet lending more complexity. The palate is very well balanced with good depth and freshness, spicier than usual with a persistent finish. This would be my pick for Durantou if their Pomerol wines are out of reach." von NEAL MARTIN

"Viel Frische und Frucht im Bouquet von Les Cruzelles. Es zeigt einladende Minztöne unterlegt von Kirschen, Heidelbeeren und blumigen Düften. Der Auftakt ist fruchtig und erfrischend. Hier sind viele positive Aspekte in diesem Wein vorhanden, und er freut sich einfach da zu sein! Ein feiner, eleganter, ausgewogener und schmackhafter Wein."
