The 2024 Les Cruzelles was picked on September 20 and 22 with the Cabernet Franc picked on September 28, and matured in 57% new oak. This has more harmony and sensuality on the nose with a mixture of very pure black cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and very well balanced, with supple ripe tannins and real delineation and poise on the finish. This surpasses many Pomerols in this vintage and, given its potential price, comes highly recommended. Score: 90 - 92 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2028-2045 01 May 2025 |

The 2024 Les Cruzelles is laced with blue/purplish fruit, cloves, licorice, menthol, incense and gravel. Ample and broad, with terrific resonance, the 2024 is super-expressive right out of the gate. There's gorgeous resonance and fine balance here. Score: 91 - 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2026-2036 29 April 2025 |

There is austerity here, as is classic in the vintage, but beautifully handled and balanced, with muscles, touch of cloves and again this white pepper character, with white plum, fine tannins, mouth-watering salinity on the finish. No chaptilisation, 57% new oak for ageing. Score: 91 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2029-2040 24 April 2025 |

The 2024 Les Cruzelles is shy and introverted, offering up aromas of pepper, oak and incense. Moderately weighted, supple and lively, it's built around tangy acids and powdery tannins. Score: 85 - 87 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2026 - 2030 23 April 2025 |
