History
Jacques De Schepper, Belgian trader and owner of both Château Tour Baladoz and Château Haut Breton Larigaudière (Margaux), expanded his property with Château La Croizille. In agreement with steward of the family estates Jean-Michel Garcion, his goal with this property was defined from the very beginning: to create exceptional wines.
Après une restructuration complète du vignoble, Jacques et son neveu Olivier accomplissent la construction d’un chai répondant à toutes les exigences techniques. Terminé en 2012, le projet se veut innovant, sa salle réceptive offrant des vues panoramiques splendides sur le vignoble.
After a full restructuration of the vineyard, Jacques and his nephew Olivier finalised the construction of a winery in compliance with all technical requirements. The innovative project was completed in 2012, with an exceptional reception area that offers a panoramic view of the vineyard.
Led by Hélène, Jacques’ daughter, La Croizille began to develop tourism. In 2015, the Château won the Trophée d’Or International in the category “Best of Wine Tourism” for the great quality of the services it offers to visitors.
Château La Croizille was certified HVE 3.
Château La Croizille was listed in the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classification.
