The owner's pitch.
“Since acquiring Château La Croizille, we have focused on producing an outstanding wine combining our great terroir with new technologies and traditional expertise. The low yield of the oldest vines in the vineyard, a drastic selection, and an unusual blend for the appellation (30% of cabernet sauvignon at least) guarantee a wine like no other in Saint-Émilion. A resolutely modern wine with a resolutely modern cellar overlooking the valley.”
