Chateau Cruzelles 2018, Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux

Made under the watchful eye of Denis Durantou of L'Eglise Clinet until his death in 2020, Château Cruzelles in 2018 is a Lalande de Pomerol of some distinction. A mid weight, elegant red wine crafted from 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc, it offers deep aromas of dark berries, plum, and subtle oak, with hints of spice and earthy minerality. On the palate, it’s well-balanced, with refined tannins and a long, smooth finish. This vintage showcases impressive complexity and aging potential, reflecting the quality and character of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation.
