Châteaux La Croizille & Tour Baladoz
(Winery in Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion)
About Winery and Wines
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé, Château La Croizille is located on the hills of the Saint-Emilion plateau, on one of the richest terroirs of the appellation. Indeed, the 5-hectare vineyard includes different plots with a wide soil variety and a high altitude, which can reach 90 meters.
The De Schepper's family, owner of the nearby château for more than 6 decades, the Château Tour Baladoz, bought in 1996 the Château La Croizille in order to make an exceptional wine, combining historical know-how with the latest technologies.

Château La Croizille, acquired by the De Schepper family in 1996, is in an outstanding location in the heart of the legendary Saint-Émilion appellation. The vineyard consists of a single block of vines grown on slopes on the Saint-Émilion clay-limestone plateau, nestled in a cirque 30 to 70 metres above sea level, adjacent to Château Tour Baladoz, in Saint-Laurent des Combes, between Tertre Roteboeuf and Troplong Mondot.
Since acquiring Château La Croizille, the family has focused on producing an outstanding wine, combining a great terroir with state-of-the-art technology and traditional expertise. In April 2013, a new cellar was completed at Château La Croizille, which meets the strictest technical specifications and features a tasting room overlooking the valley, showcasing the superb surrounding landscape.
