Château Croizet-Bages, like many other Pauillacs, is located on the famous Bages plateau. In 1853, two years before its classification as a fifth classified growth, Château Croizet-Bages became the property of the Calvé family, which somewhat modified the brand which then became: Château Calvé Croizet-Bages, until the end of year 1934. It was during this period that Mr. Paul Quié purchased this wine, which has since remained in the same family. For about twenty years, the vineyard went through a phase of reconstruction; this long work is now completed. Until the 1986 harvest, only an old concrete vat existed. Since then, new premises have been built to improve the quality of winemaking. The Paul Quié heirs are also owners of the estate of Château Rauzan-Gassies, in Margaux, second classified growth in 1855, as well as of the estate of Château Bel-Orme-Tronquoy-de-Lalande.
Twenty-year-old vines and traditional vinification produce a fine Pauillac, with an intermediate concentration and which ages very well. The nose develops classic aromas of blackberry and raspberry but also a graphite note.
