Château Cruzeau Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2021

Château Cruzeau Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2021

Saint-Émilion is all about elegance, balance, and charm, and Château Cruzeau Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2021 is a beautiful expression of the Right Bank’s most celebrated terroir. From limestone-rich soils and careful winemaking comes a wine that combines freshness with structure, offering both immediate pleasure and age-worthy complexity.

Led by Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon providing backbone and aromatic lift, this Grand Cru highlights the finesse of the cooler 2021 vintage. The style is refined rather than opulent — a Bordeaux for those who appreciate nuance and terroir-driven character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh cherry, cassis, and violet, layered with subtle oak spice and graphite.

• Palate: Juicy red and black fruits with cranberry brightness, fine tannins, and mineral depth.

• Finish: Long, graceful, and savoury with cedar and tobacco undertones.

Perfect alongside roast lamb, duck confit, or wild mushroom risotto, this wine is drinking beautifully young but will reward cellaring for up to a decade.
