Château Cruzeau Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2022
Château Cruzeau Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2022 presents a refined expression of Merlot-dominant Right Bank character, offering ripe black cherry and plum fruit up front, layered with notes of cassis, dark chocolate, and a whisper of graphite; the palate is medium-plus in body with silky tannins, bright but well-integrated acidity, and a subtle oak influence that adds vanilla and toast without overpowering the fruit. The finish is long and balanced, leaving hints of dried herbs and baking spice, making it approachable now with gentle decanting or well-suited to cellar for 8–12 years to gain further complexity. This vintage pairs beautifully with roast lamb, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses, and delivers excellent value for a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.
