Chateau Le Crock Saint-Estephe 2018 750 ML

Chateau Le Crock was the first purchase made by the Cuvelier family. They bought St. Estephe vineyards of Le Crock in 1903. Like many Bordeaux vineyard owners, the Cuvelier family got their start in Bordeaux the same way numerous other future chateau owners did, as negocants, or Bordeaux wine merchants. In fact, the Cuvelier family has a long history in the Bordeaux wine trade dating all the way back to 1804.The Cuvelier family of Leoville-Poyferre in Saint-Julien have given us a strongly textured and rich wine from this property in Saint-Estephe. Its power and density will allow it to age well. Earthy black cherries, clay, smoke and licorice sensations for the aromatic character. On the palate the wine is round, soft, sweet and juicy. The fruit is easy to like, due to its perfect ripeness. In the finish, spice, licorice and blackberry kick in and stay there. The wine was produced from 45% Merlot, 40.% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
