  "Really tight and refined tannins and focus. It’s really clear. Medium-bodied. One of the best I have had here. Approachable, but so long and structured. Best after 2026."

  Decanter
  "Rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries and rose petals, a soft sweetness on the nose with herbal accents and milk chocolate. Supple and bouncy, this has energy and verve. Tannins are fine but grippy, slightly grainy in their texture which lingers as spice on the tongue, but this also delivers waves of flavour and texture on the palate with red and black fruits, high acidity, liquorice, clove and slate minerality. and saltiness. A stand out wine from Lalande with cool freshness and an appealing overall character."

  "On another level, the 2020 Château Les Cruzelles checks in as 80% Merlot and 20 %Cabernet Franc raised in 50% new French oak. It has terrific aromatics of black raspberries, plums, damp earth, and chocolate, and it would easily pass undetected in a lineup of top Pomerols. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and opulent, it's a no-brainer that readers will love. It’s every bit as good as the 2019 and will evolve for at least a decade."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Flowers, chocolate, smoke, licorice and plummy nuances are all over the place here. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, silky, fresh, and most importantly, there is a beautiful sense of purity to the red pit fruits in the elegant, supple, chocolately finish. Drink from 2024-2040."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Fresh, delicate and lively, the 2020 Les Cruzelles impresses with its freshness and aromas of cassis, blueberry, spring flowers and iris. This is a fresh and fruity wine with gastronomic appeal that is enveloping and full-bodied on the palate with a savory finish. The 2020 is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc."
