Fiche Technique

Présentation

Tracé Carménère is a micro-cuvée of Château de Cruzeau. This confidential wine is made from an old and long forgotten grape variety, Carménère, which was reintroduced in 2003 by Jacques Lurton. Located on the most beautiful south-facing gravelly hillside of the estate, it has found its perfect expression on this remarkable terroir. The meticulous care given to the vines and a very careful vinification, resulting from a long know-how, give it elegance and balance.
