Ripe black cherries, blueberries, iron, spring flowers, and a touch of chocolaty minerality emerge from the 2019 Château Les Cruzelles, another incredible success from Denis Durantou. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, you should buy a case and drink bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years.

This is smoky, spicy and meaty with blueberry character. It’s medium-bodied with a chewy texture and a tight, pronounced finish. Serious.

The 2019 Les Cruzelles is showing very well today with aromas of spices, flowers, dark berries and delicate hints of rose petals. This juicy wine is seamless and layered with powdery tannins and a fleshy texture, typical of Lalande-de-Pomerol. This wine possesses more race and depth than the 2016 La Chenade. It will offer a broad drinking window.
