Château Le Crock

Château Le Crock is owned by the Cuvelier family, wine merchants in Lille since 1804, who have presided over the fortunes of the prestigious Château Léoville Poyferré, a second growth in the Saint-Julien appellation, since 1920. The estate's 80-hectare vineyard lies in the heart of the Médoc. This estate, which is treated with the same care as Léoville Poyferré, is surrounded by the Grands Crus Classés Château Cos d'Estournel and Château Montrose and has 32 hectares of vines. The oldest and best-located vines produce the great wine of Château Le Crock, while the others produce the second wine, La Croix Saint-Estèphe.

Thanks to an effective restructuring and modernization program,Didier Cuvelier has made Château Le Crock one of the jewels of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The winemaking methods are geared towards a single goal: achieving optimal quality. The most significant constraints are low yields, ruthlessly sorted manual harvesting, vinification supervised by oenologist Michel Rolland, and fermentation in barrels.
