Acquired in 1903 by the Cuvelier family, before Léoville-Poyferré, this superb château, whose vineyard is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, is advised by Michel Rolland.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
5-star rated estate (Outstanding production)
About the estate:
The Cuveliers, who later acquired Château Léoville-Poyferré in Saint-Julien, bought Le Crock in 1904. The vineyard comprises three parts, the main one located on the Mabuzet hill and another near Les Deux Cos. The wines continue to improve steadily thanks to the construction of a new vat room, a new barrel cellar, and particularly careful harvesting. Very high quality, even in 2004, this is a beautiful Saint-Estèphe with pronounced tannins on the finish but rich and spicy on the palate."
