{"product_id":"chateau-croizet-bages-1964","title":"Chateau Croizet-Bages Pauillac 1964 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cp\u003eCroizet-Bages has no château building at all. The vineyard sits on the Bages plateau just south of Pauillac village, beside far more famous neighbours in Lynch-Bages and Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and the wine has been made in borrowed cellars for most of its modern life. It was classified a fifth growth in 1855 and has stayed there ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the honest end of classified Pauillac: Cabernet Sauvignon on deep gravel, with no ambition to be anything other than claret. In 1964, a year that punished anyone who picked after the October rain, the wine was never built for the long haul. What remains after sixty-two years is a survivor rather than a showpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe appeal of a bottle like this is the date on it and the fact that it still exists. It is priced accordingly: a real classified-growth Pauillac from a specific autumn, not a trophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château Croizet-Bages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pauillac AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is likely to be now.\u003c\/strong\u003e A modest vintage from a modest classified growth, so this is now a fragile old wine, best opened for the occasion rather than kept waiting for another decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits.\u003c\/strong\u003e The most affordable way to put a genuine 1855-classified Pauillac in front of someone celebrating 62 years in 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition.\u003c\/strong\u003e The merchant's note reads good, with no faults recorded; we confirm the fill and capsule ourselves before charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bought to order from a professional European merchant.
