Château Le Crock
In Saint‑Estèphe near the Gironde, Château Le Crock looks like a Médoc manor carved in stone: built in the early 19th century by the Merman family, then bought in 1903 by the Cuveliers—wine merchants who made this estate their first foothold on gravel. Today it stands as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel.
Vines root into gravel with a clay backbone, giving Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot the appellation’s trademark frame. Hand picking, careful sorting and temperature‑controlled fermentations keep extraction measured, favouring definition over brute force.
Barrel élevage and a patient blend knit the structure, letting power stay civil and the line stay fresh. Le Crock is a study in continuity: heritage architecture above ground, and disciplined craftsmanship below, translating Saint‑Estèphe with quiet confidence.Château Le Crock
