Château le Crock is a great red wine from Bordeaux in the Saint-Estephe appellation, offered here in a large size bottle, a superb 6-litre Imperial to give as a gift or to share with family and friends, available in several vintages.

The available vintages are displayed below: click on the desired vintage to view its price.

Resulting from a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, Château Le Crock offers all the characteristics of a great Saint-Estèphe, a fresh nose on black fruits with light spicy notes and a silky and velvety substance on the palate, evolving with age towards notes of game, grilled, undergrowth and mushroom. It can be enjoyed after 3 to 4 years and kept in the cellar for 12 to 20 years depending on the vintage. It is the perfect accompaniment to prime rib, small game or hard sheep's cheese.

Château Le Crock, formerly Cru de Bastérot-Ségur, bought by the Cuveliers in 1903 and quickly became a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. Reasoned pest management is in the spotlight, to produce healthy and environmentally friendly harvests.
