Château Le Crock 2015

Press

JamesSuckling.com James Suckling : 92 "Great cassis fruit is combined with an impressive freshness and slightly grainy, dry tannins. They need a bit of time to soften, but in every other respect this is already a very attractive wine with a long, crisp finish. Better from 2019." 03.02.2018

Vinous Media Antonio Galloni : 89 "The 2015 Le Crock is a pleasant, fruity Saint-Estèphe to drink now and over the next few years. Inky blue/purplish fruit, spice and lavender notes are nicely pushed forward in this very pretty, succulent wine. Plush fruit, soft, silky tannins and mid-weight structure are the signatures. The 2015 has turned out nicely." 01.02.2018

Tasting advice

Ageing potential

Renowned for their remarkable ageing potential, Saint-Estèphe wines evolve beautifully over time, gaining in roundness, finesse, and aromatic complexity. These characterful wines flourish in the cellar, whether for a few years or several decades, gradually revealing their full depth.

When to drink it?

This wine can be enjoyed immediately, already displaying wonderful harmony, or it can be cellared to allow its aromas to reach their full potential over time.

Food & Wine Pairing

This wine will enhance a beef tartare or a cassolette of fresh morels. For dessert, dare to pair it with a molten chocolate cake.
