Tasting notes
The spicy, complex, medium to full-bodied 2022 Château Croizet-Bages sports a ruby/plum hue, ample red and black fruits, some leather, incense, and cedar pencil notes, terrific overall balance, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34.5% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, all raised in 50% new barrels.

The 2022 Croizet Bages has a decent nose with black plum, pencil shaving and light tobacco scents, demonstrating a little more finesse than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied and pure, with smooth tannins and fine delineation. It's quite caressing toward the finish. This is undoubtedly one of the better wines from the Pauillac estate that I have tasted.
A refined and polished Croizet-Bages with currants, fresh thyme and basil. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy-textured finish. Medium, fruity and juicy finish. Drink after 2027.
Velvety tannins, cassis and bilberry, leaps into the pencil lead and crayon character of Pauillac, and is an excellent Croizet Bages. Relatively good value for classified Bordeaux, this is one to recommend and get stuck in to - no need to wait too long, just another few years.
