An important symbol: the 129-year history of the Cruse family
The echo of infinity
It reveals with singularity and emotion the quintessence of the vineyard: the purest, the best. In ancient times, quintessence referred to the fifth element (after water, air, earth and fire), considered to be celestial. The star, too, has a spiritual dimension, embodying direction, eternity and connection with the universe.
Family values
And so, for the Cruse family, this cuvée symbolically represents their expertise and history. Château du Taillan has been passed down from father to son for 96 years, and since 1992 Mr Henri-François Cruse has entrusted its destiny to his 5 daughters: Violaine, Marie-Caroline, Armelle, Myriam and Christiane.
The star that guides, shines and anchors all that is not palpable: the love and values of a family beyond earthly life.

The origins of l’Étoile
In 2010, the Cruse family and their team created this wine with the Cuvée des Dames. In 2022, the finest vintage ever produced at the estate, it was reborn as L’Étoile du Taillan.
The wine and its style
The team hand-picked the oldest plot of Merlot, n°41, planted in 1959, as well as an attractive batch of Cabernet Sauvignon.
The vinification was carried out separately, delicately in a small vat. The wine was matured for 12 months in new barrels, to achieve smoothness and great finesse on the palate.
A modern, conical bottle with a curved star and a shorter cap for a streamlined look.
