Ch. Le Crock 2022 Saint Estephe Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

Under-the-radar estate that's sandwiched between heavyweight Second Growths Château Montrose and Château Cos d’Estournel, is made by Didier Cuvelier from 'super-second growth' Ch Leoville Poyferré in Saint Julien but is a fraction of the cost. Ripe sweet black fruit aromas, plus dusty oak. V good ripeness on palate, svelte medium+ body. Nice balance, long and fine finish
