Chateau La Croizille

Appellation : Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Château La Croizille, acquired by the De Schepper family in 1996, is in an outstanding location in the heart of the legendary Saint-Émilion appellation. The vineyard consists of a single block of vines grown on slopes on the Saint-Émilion clay-limestone plateau, nestled in a cirque 30 to 70 metres above sea level, adjacent to Château Tour Baladoz, in Saint-Laurent des Combes, between Tertre Roteboeuf and Troplong Mondot.

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.”

Wines.

This remarkable wine is an inky colour, and has an attractive black fruit nose with toasty overtones. Rich, complex and delicious, it offers an impressive balance between great substance, smooth, elegant tannin, and intense, attractive flavours.
