| Awards | "A blend of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Le Crock reveals a delicate, elegant bouquet of dark wild berries, spices, cherries, flowers and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, it's enrobing with a delicate, elegantly structured core of fruit enhanced by velvety tannins and a fresh, menthol-inflected finish. This is a strong performance." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A classic St.-Estephe that shows power, tension and a subtle mineral quality, with fresh, deep blue and black fruit. Tight, al dente and chalky, with a full body and a very long, tense finish. Impressive quality. Drink from 2026." - James Suckling "Full bottle 1,280 g. The estate's status as a cru bourgeois exceptionelle has just been confirmed in the most recent (2025) classification. 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, hand harvested. Malo in new barrels, ageing 18 months in barrel, of which 30% new and the rest one year old. pH 3.71. Vibrant and very dark crimson with black core and purplish rim. Refined but intense aroma of pure black fruit, the fruit shining above the impression of oak, though the oak is definitely present. There's pure vibrant cassis as well as sweeter blackberry and mulberry. Powerful, deliciously dry in its tannic texture. Dark, savoury and with the stony character so typical of the appellation. Chalky-chewy tannins are in perfect harmony with the fruit. Incipient elegance and a fine dry aftertaste but in no way drying. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Le Crock is a dense, potent wine. A blast of dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, licorice, dried flowers and scorched earth are all super-concentrated in the glass. The 2022 possesses notable textural richness right out of the gate. I would give this a year or two in bottle, at the very least. At 21 hectoliters per hectare, yields were punishingly low because of intense heat and drought. For these reasons, the château decided to bottle only the Grand Vin and no second wine. The 2022 is a very beautiful Le Crock, a bit exotic perhaps, but compelling." - Vinous "Dark plum and loganberry fruit is warm and broad in feel, while dark tobacco, warm earth and chestnut leaf accents add range and grip on the finish. Shows solid structure, too -- tuck this away for a bit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2038." - Vinous "Under the same ownership since 1903 by the Cuvelier family of Leoville-Poyferre, a Saint-Julien classed growth, this estate regularly produces fine wines. This new release from selected parcels is impressive with its dark chocolate aroma, rich tannins, dark berry fruits and a concentrated texture. The wine is sure to age. Drink from 2028." - Wine Enthusiast "Blackcurrants, vanilla and milk chocolate aromas on the nose. Punchy and up front with ripe black berries and cherries alongside a powerful core of fine tannins and racy acidity. I like the style, it's concentrated and sun-kissed but tempered by the acidity with a dusting of toastiness on the finish. Lively and bold, fun and easy to like." - Decanter |
