This Château Le Crock 'Château La Croix' Saint-Estèphe boasts a deep ruby purple hue, with aromas of black and dark red berries and hints of spice. The full-bodied palate is teeming with generous flavours, a precise balance of acidity, and silky tannins extending into the persistent finish. Optimal drinking within 5 to 10 years.
This is classic St-Estèphe with the firmness and structure but it is beautifully balanced and full of fruit for earlier consumption.

The Château Le Crock vineyards in Saint-Estèphe comprise over 32 hectares of land nestled in between the 2nd Classified Growths of Château Cos d'Estournel and Château Montrose. The soils are typical Garonne gravels with a clayey subsoil. The vines are double Guyot-trained and the vineyards managed using sustainable practices.
The grapes were harvested and sorted by hand prior to vinification. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel and concrete vats, followed by 12 months of ageing in used oak barrels, and a further 12 months in stainless steel. The wine was fined before bottling.
