Château Croizet Bages, Fifth Growth classified winery in Pauillac, France
Description
Château Croizet Bages is a ranked winery located on the Bages plateau, where grapevines grow in gravel and sandy soil. The grapes undergo fermentation in cement vats before aging in French oak barrels, a combination of materials that shapes the character of the wine produced there.
History
The property began when the Croizet family acquired vineyards in the area and started their wine operation there. Over time the estate earned formal recognition in the ranking system that identifies quality among Bordeaux wines.
Culture
The name comes from the Croizet family who built their legacy here, and the vineyard remains rooted in local winemaking traditions. You can observe how both old and new production methods coexist in the cellars, reflecting how producers balance heritage with contemporary practices.
Practical
The estate sits in Pauillac and welcomes visitors interested in seeing how wine is made and stored there. Planning ahead is helpful, as access depends on the season and the team's availability for tours.
Did you know?
The vineyard is organized as one large parcel divided into twenty smaller sections, an uncommon setup in this wine region. This arrangement lets the team manage each area separately and respond to variations in soil conditions across the property.
