Goedhuis, April 2014, Score: 89-91
A similar blend to his Eglise-Clinet (90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc), Denis Durantou has produced a sweet and refined wine, with striking aromas of damsons and sloes. Beautifully concentrated with subtle caramelised fruits flavours. Very balanced and will give huge pleasure.

Neal Martin, April 2015, Score: 89-91
The Château Les Cruzelles 2014 is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc picked from 24 to 29 September and 17 to 21 October and aged in 50% new oak. The nose is ripe and generous with wild strawberry and dark plum aromas, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and fine tannin. It is not a complex Lalande-de-Pomerol but is (as usual) extremely well balanced with a fine degree of tension and finesse on the broody finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle and it should give several years of pleasure, probably more.

Decanter, April 2015, Score: 87
Rich , full and plush with cherry and blueberry notes. Oak evident but bubbles with fruit as well. Tannins polished. Touch of alcohol but balanced by freshness. Drink: 2018-2025

Matthew Jukes, May 2015, Score: 17+
(90 Merlot, 10 Cabernet Franc) | 50% new oak. There is a lovely core of briary, dense, chocolaty fruit here with lovely freshness, but no unwanted harshness or tannins because they are perfectly in harmony with the whole. This is a very well-judged wine with much more elegance and potential than expected.

Wine Spectator, March 2015, Score: 88-91
Raspberry and cherry coulis flavors form the core, with hints of spice and tea along the edges. Subtle length.
Producer
Château les Cruzelles
Part of the incredibly well-respected Durantou stable, this 10 hectare estate is rated as one of the "outstanding" Lalande-de-Pomerol Châteaux, in Robert Parker's Bordeaux guide. The grape varietals grown are 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Only 2,000 cases are made.Region
Lalande de Pomerol
Lalande de Pomerol is situated to the north-west of the Dordogne River north of Pomerol. Similar to the great Pomerol appellation the wines are Merlot dominated but sold at a fraction of the price. Some great value wines can be found to the south of the Lalande de Pomerol region as only the Barbanne River separates the two appellations.
