2023
Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Chewy, savory currants, with a minty edge are already expressive in the nose, and in the medium-bodied, chewy, leafy, chalky palate. Give this at least a year or two of aging, and it should be even better. Drink from 2027-2043. 90-92 Pts. 840 Views Tasted May 4, 2024 |
2022
Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Flowers, cherries, currants, cigar wrappers and a touch of spice create the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh, spicy, and savory, with a peppery edge to the chewy currants in the finish. Drink from 2026-2045. 90-92 Pts. 1,900 Views Tasted May 8, 2023 |

Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Tobacco, cedar, forest leaves, peppery herbs and bright, red currants with a crisp and crunchy edge define this medium-bodied, forward wine.

Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Wow, they have really upped their game at Croizet Bages. This is a beauty packed with layers of supple-textured, ripe, dark red fruits, freshness, silky tannins and a chewy, red berry finish that shows off its purity, leafy herbs, cedar, tobacco and spicy edges quite nicely. Drink from 2025-2045. 1,068 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Tobacco, cedar, flowers, mint and creme de cassis come to the forefront with little effort. Medium/full-bodied, with a generous dose of chewy currants, herbs and cigar wrapper, there is serious Pauillac character here. This is the best vintage of Croizet-Bages I recall tasting. Priced correctly, this is worth taking a look at. 90-92 Pts 1,607 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |
2019
Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Medium-bodied, fresh, bright and savory, with a strong, leafy, cedar, tobacco leaf edge to the crisp, red berries, the wine sits firmly on the corner of classic and rustic, with a bit of a softer, riper, polished edge. There is a strong, green, peppery, olive hint in the red currant finish. Drink from 2025-2042. 2,174 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022 |
2018
Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Medium-bodied, forward, fruity, fresh and already showing some secondary nuances of tobacco leaf, herbs, olives, forest, cedar and cherry tones. Give this 5 years or so in the bottle and it should start to show quite nicely. This is a solid step up in quality here. 1,844 Views Tasted Aug 20, 2021 |

Sharp tannins and on the lean, cranberry side of the style range the wine is a solid example of old-school, classic Bordeaux. 3,184 Views Tasted Sep 21, 2019Medium bodied, lean in weigh with salty tannins, this wine has a classic, old school Pauillac profile of lead pencil and cedar. 2,021 Views Tasted Apr 29, 2017 |

2012
Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Light in color and fruit, this early drinking blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc is slightly more interesting on the tobacco and red fruit nose, than in the crisp, slightly tart cranberry and cassis finish. 2,099 Views Tasted Mar 11, 2015 |

Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Austere in style, medium bodied with a focus on red berries, there is some dryness to the tannins in this classically styled Bordeaux. From a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. 7,243 Views Tasted May 24, 2012 |
2008
Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
Better on the nose, with its cedar, tobacco, and sharp, red berry profile, than on the palate. Medium bodied, with a bright, crisp, red fruit character, the wine manages to be strict and short. This is what my old school British friends would have called four square. 3,915 Views Tasted Sep 16, 2017 |

Château Croizet-Bages (Pauillac)
