Château La Croix St-Estèphe

Château La Croix St-Estèphe 2023

Every vintage tells its own story. Every gesture shapes its personality. Faced with exceptional weather conditions, the team at Château Le Crock once again pulled out all the stops to produce a vintage that is not only juicy and crisp, but also embodies the riches of the Saint-Estèphe terroir.

The responsiveness of the vineyard teams was paramount throughout the spring. Growth of the vines was so rapid that the lifting of the shoots had to begin before the end of desuckering, an unprecedented feat for the estate!

This is the third year in a row that the vineyard has successfully made the transition towards organic farming, which strengthens our convictions and our commitment.

“Our role is not to tame the vines, but to accompany them in the most natural way possible,” says Jonathan Servant (Vineyard Manager), for whom the certification planned for 2025 is not an end in itself, but a path of constant in-depth reflection.

Harvesting began on the 12^th of September in glorious sunshine. In these ideal conditions, our team reaped the fruits of the year’s work, with a generous yield and impeccable quality.

On the nose, the wine’s bright but subtle fruity aromas are a prelude to a palate where freshness and maturity coexist in perfect harmony.
