Château Le Crock Saint-Estèphe 2017 — a structured, age-worthy Left Bank Bordeaux.
A family-owned estate near the Gironde Estuary, Château Le Crock draws on gravelly soils and a maritime-tempered climate. The 2017 blends the classic Médoc varieties, aged 18 months in oak with sustainability at its core.
Full-bodied and well-structured, with medium-high acidity and firm tannins. Deep ruby, with rich, intense dark fruit meeting cedar, spice and oak in a harmonious, elegant style.
