Château Les Cruzelles is the Lalande-de-Pomerol estate of Denis Durantou, famed for Château L’Eglise-Clinet. The 2022 is Merlot-dominant with Cabernet Franc, grown on gravel and clay soils just outside Pomerol proper.

Hand-harvested fruit is fermented in cement vats and aged in 40% new French oak. It shows polished structure, ripe fruit, and signature Durantou elegance—a serious wine with Pomerol pedigree and approachability.

"As I wrote during primeur, the 2022 Les Cruzelles has plenty of fruit on the nose, especially following the more tightly coiled La Chenade. A black cherry note, a touch of cassis and a sprig of wild mint come through with time. This is quite exuberant and captivating. The palate is medium-bodied with a powerful entry that lacquers the mouth. Saturated tannins and fine acidity create a luxuriant Lalande-de-Pomerol with immense purity toward the finish. This delightful, slightly hedonistic wine from the Durantou stable should be tempered by time." —Neal Martin

"More serious and structured than La Chenade, the 2022 Les Cruzelles unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries and blackberries mingled with hints of licorice and mint. Medium to full-bodied, lively and layered, it's built around powdery structuring tannins that gently assert themselves on the finish." —William Kelley
