James Suckling 91pt

A hint of cream and marzipan to the profile of green fruit. Sliced green apples, kiwis and gooseberries. Bright and zesty on the palate with medium to full body and a tangy finish. Sauvignon blanc.

Wine Enthusiast 93pt

A ripe citrus wine with acidity also hints of tropical fruits. It is a smoothly textured wine that comes from a Lurton-owned estate. Drink this fresh wine from 2025.

Wine Spectator 90pt

Open-knit, with white peach and lemon pith notes flecked with thyme. Reveals nice acidity that keeps the finish crackling.

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.

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.

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.
