STORY BEHIND THE WINE

In 1903, Château Le Crock, in Saint-Estèphe, became the first flagship winegrowing property of the Cuvelier family who extended the 17 hectares of vineyards to the 32 hectares it currently owns here. It was classified as a Cru Bourgeois in Saint-Estèphe in 1932. Next up, in 1920 the family acquired the Château Léoville Poyferré (Deuxième Cru Classé Saint-Julien) and Château Moulin Riche, in the heart of Médoc. Throughout the twentieth century, the firm strengthened their presence in Bordeaux and in 1998 they took their first steps in Argentina, joining Michel Rolland’s Clos de Los Siete project. In 2005 they also set up their own winery, Cuvelier Los Andes, in Argentina.
