En prenant le parti de produire un vin dans la finesse, le cru a aussi réussi à conserver une belle densité en bouche et surtout à pousser les saveurs dans une finale très persistante. Le meilleur Croizet dégusté en primeur.

Vin fruité, plus précis que par le passé. Bouche agréable, savoureuse, de corps et de longueur moyens.

This is a little overly coffee-drenched on the attack, although I have really been enjoying the resurgence of Croizet-Bages over the last few vintages and it has become a Pauillac to watch. Once the attack subsides, this is tight and deep with intense black fruits, juicy on the finish. A good showing.

The 2016 Croizet Bages has a clean and well-defined bouquet with tobacco-tinged black fruit, conservative but nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm and grainy tannin. It displays some elegance towards the finish, something that I do not always find in this Pauillac growth and it may well mature into a fine, probably earlier-drinking 2016 compared to its peers. But there is a sense of style in situ.
