From the seventeenth century, the existence of this vineyard is duly established as part of the important area of ​​Bages. At the end of the 18th century, it was sold to the Croizet brothers, who had an active role during the Revolution, which earned them important positions in the canton of Pauillac. But, at the advent of the Empire, they thought it best to be very discreet and sold the wine to Jean de Puytarac, a member of a very old Gascon family. In 1853, two years before the classification of 1855, Château Croizet-Bages became the property of the Calvé family, which modified somewhat the mark which then became: Château Calvé Croizet-Bages, and this until the end of the year 1934. It was at this period that Mr. Paul Quié became acquirer of this vintage which has since remained in the same family. Today, the "castle", formerly attached directly to the property, is no longer part of the estate. Located in the heart of Pauillac, it is currently used as a Youth Center and is known as Château La Tourelle.

Château Croizet-Bages in renewal

The entire property is located on the Bages plateau which overlooks Pauillac from a height of about 20 meters. As a result, the entire vineyard benefits from the same type of soils, ie deep gravel mixed with a bit of very poor black soil, this on a depth of 6 meters, before encountering a slight layer of soil. clay to which succeeds again a thick layer of serious more compact. For about 20 years, the vineyard was being rebuilt; this long work is now complete. To date, its area is 28 hectares. Until the 1986 harvest, only one old concrete vat existed. Since then, new premises consisting of a winemaking cell with a capacity of more than 2000 hl and an isothermal and watertight vat of 1600 hl have been produced to improve the quality of vinification. A renewal is therefore underway, and everything is done to extend the field to its best.
