The 2022 Les Cruzelles is ample, rich and explosive, just as it was en primeur. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, crushed rocks, lavender and dried herbs soar out of the glass. The long, sustained finish suggests the 2022 will enjoy a long and rewarding life. A wine of substance and heft, Les Cruzelles is seriously impressive. Readers should expect a potent, brooding red.

A dense and flavorful Lalande de Pomerol with plums and opulence as well as firm and velvety tannins that give it length and intensity. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of fruit and creamy texture. Merlot-driven. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Drink after 2027. (01/2025)

Another gorgeous Lalande de Pomerol, the 2022 Château Les Cruzelles is deep ruby/purple and boasts a great nose of ripe darker cherries, cassis, graphite, and flowers. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it's medium-bodied, stays lively and elegant, and has silky tannins as well as a great finish. It's going to be a hidden gem in the vintage that readers will love to have in the cellar. (05/2023)

Les Cruzelles 2022 is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and it has a deep garnet-purple color. It requires a little swirling to unlock notes of licorice, tilled soil, and Sichuan pepper, over a core of plum preserves, baked blackberries, and raspberry leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft, elegantly styled, and graceful, with just enough fruit and a savory finish. (05/2023)

Ripe and focused, with a delicious beam of raspberry and blackberry pâte de fruit that stretches out, along with dried anise and singed apple wood. Offers juicy energy underneath, and there's a subtle twang of iron through the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2034. 1,350 cases made.

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.
