Lemon yellow with golden hue, medium(-). Developed nose, medium intensity. Aromatic with green notes, leaves. Some smoke, which vanish in the glass (reduction?). After a while, butter, then boxwood and elder flowers. Dry, medium(+) acidity (prickly), medium(-) body. On the palate fresh green to yellow fruit, some butter, a touch of smoke. Medium aftertaste with some bitterness, lemon and cream caramel. A kind of oily texture. Refreshing.
Still going fresh and strong after one week in the fridge.
100% Sauvignon blanc, aged on its lees 10 months in stainless steel. Screw cap (the reason behind this 14 year old wine's freshness?).

Ce vin est d'un beau jaune doré.En arrière gout on remarque l'olive noir.J'ai été très surpris lors de la dégustation car j'ai trouvé qu'il était surette.Cela n'empêche pas que j'ai bien aimé ce château de cruzeau.

Nice smell with hints of green apples and nettle. Very dry with a slightly spicy tone, probably from the oak, well balanced.
