Tasting notes
The 2025 Croizet-Bages has a light tobacco- and sous-bois-scented nose that just needs to muster more fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with gritty tannins, modest depth, but it tapers towards a rather rustic finish. I suspect it will gain more coherence in barrel, but this is a bit underwhelming in the context of the growing season.

A charming Pauillac, the 2025 Château Croizet-Bages reveals lovely red and black fruits, dried herbs, and tobacco, as well as some baking spices. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, nicely balanced, and textured, with soft tannins and considerable character.
Black currants, licorice, cedar, flowers, smoke, and tobacco scents crowd into the perfume. The palate delivers is creamy cassis profile, coupled with sweet, blackberries, and freshness paired with a creamy finish to wrap everything up quite nicely. This is an improving Pauillac to keep your eyes on. Drink from 2030-2050.
Medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and linear, with good freshness. Very composed, with depth and concentration.
