The Château Le Crock vineyard, with 32 hectares of vines spread over three different areas, is planted on gravel, with sandy soils on the surface and clay in the depths. These soils express all the characteristics of the Saint-Estèphe terroirs and give life to complex and powerful wines with an intense and fruit driven profile.
The Best Vintages of Chateau Le Crock are: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2010, 2009, 2005 and 2003.

Like most of the best Médoc climates, the plots overlook the Gironde Estuary. The river acts as a natural thermal regulator, limiting temperature fluctuations and allowing the production of balanced wines from vintage to vintage.
As the bottles improve with age, so do our vines.
For Jonathan Servant, our Vineyard Manager, this is an undeniable asset that contributes to the exceptional quality of our wines. The average age of our vineyard is 50 years, with most of the best plots planted just before the Second World War. The vines become less productive as they age, allowing us to focus on quality rather than quantity.
Since the arrival of Jonathan Servant in 2015, organic farming trials have been gradually introduced in the vineyard.
Thanks to the experience gained over several years, Château Le Crock is now in the process of converting to organic farming with the certification body Ecocert from the 2022 vintage onwards.
In 2025, we will celebrate our first certified organic vintage.
