Château La Croix St-Estèphe
Château La Croix St-Estèphe 2021
Following three particularly hot vintages, Nature reminded us in 2021 that it was indeed she who set the tone, showing more of an oceanic side. Throughout the year, our teams had to be patient and courageous in the face of unpredictableweather conditions.
Thankfully, relief was on the way with dry, sunny conditions at the end of August, encouraging ripeness and leading to the most gratifying of rewards on September 27th, the first day of the harvest!
Château Le Crock 2021 reveals a remarkable aromatic palette of red fruits with wild strawberries. Its timeless style, though less exuberant, recaptures the freshness and charm of the Saint-Estèphe of yesteryear.
Tasting advice
Ageing Potential
Mainly sourced from the estate’s younger vines, Château Le Crock’s second wine is crafted with the same high standards as the Grand Vin. Although considered the "younger sibling" of Château Le Crock, it can be enjoyed in its youth.
When to Drink It?
This wine can be enjoyed immediately but also has an ageing potential of 10 to 15 years, allowing its aromas to develop beautifully over time.
Food and Wine Pairing
This wine pairs wonderfully with dishes such as a salmon fillet en papillote, steamed vegetables, or even a classic beef bourguignon, thanks to its perfect balance and finesse.
