Château Croizet-Bages

Producer description of "Château Croizet-Bages"

The estate is located in the commune of Pauillac or area of the same name in the Médoc (Bordeaux). In the 17th century, it belonged to a large estate called "des Bages". At the end of the 18th century, the vineyards were acquired by the Croizet brothers and sold to Jean de Puytarac just a few years later. Two years before the Bordeaux classification in 1855, in which it was classified as Cinquième Grand Cru Classé (fifth rank), the estate passed into the ownership of the Calvé family, which led to a change of name to Château Calvé Croizet-Bages. It then retained this name until 1934. In that year, Paul Quié acquired the estate, which has remained in the possession of this family to this day. Today it is run by his son Jean-Michel Quié. The estate also includes Château Rauzan-Gassies (Margaux). The vineyards cover 30 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (40%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The long-lived red wine is aged for 12 to 18 months in 100% new barriques. The second wine is called Alias Croizet-Bages.
