Wine Enthusiast 91
A ripe approach to Sauvignon Blanc gives a wine with tropical fruit aromas and a lightly spicy flavor. The wine has a vibrant character, toasty as well as full of citrus and white fruit flavors.

This crisp and tropical white has aromas of guavas, grapefruit and lemongrass. It's medium-bodied, tangy and refreshing, with a creamy finish. Sauvignon blanc. Delicious now.

The 2023 Cruzeau Blanc has an energetic, taut and malic nose that is crisp and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine weight. It's fresh and saline, gradually building toward a very harmonious finish. A dash of white pepper marks the aftertaste. This is an excellent, perhaps under-the-radar white Pessac-Leognan to seek out.

Technical Details
Description
Since the 17th century, nature has been especially generous to Château de Cruzeau, whose superb gravel rises with perfect sun exposure were predestined for winegrowing. Today, the estate has nearly 100 hectares of vines. The wines of Château Cruzeau are widely recognized for their great finesse and elegance.
History
ANDRÉ LURTON is the company’s founder, for almost 70 years he dedicated his life to his vines, as only a man born in a wine chateau could do. Jacques Lurton now runs the family estates; he was nominated president of the group by his family in June 2019. His vast winemaking experience around the world over 30 years, has given him inspired and creative vision which he now transmits to the Vignobles Andre Lurton.
Tasting notes
Clear, brilliant color, with a nice pale yellow hue and some silver highlights. The nose is expressive, fresh, very aromatic, marked by notes of white fruit (peach, nectarine, pear) and slightly lemony accents. On the palate, it is a wine with a structure, a good balance with nice freshness. Notes of white fruit, but also of citrus (lemon) dominate the palate. The oak is well
Integrated with good length. It will be a pleasure to drink as an aperitif, with grilled salmon, pork loin or aged cheeses.
