2019 Château Laroque Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

You will be amazed when you arrive in Laroque. Located on the edge of a rock plateau, overlooking the undulating vineyards and the slopes of the grande combe de Saint-Laurent, LA-ROQUE certainly sets the tone. Vines have taken root everywhere, penetrating deeply into the three types of limestone, typical of this appellation: the blond clay (in the west) and red clay (Agen Molasse in the east) on petrified limestone plateaus and the creamy white clay (Fronsac Molasse) from which the east-facing terraces and west-facing slopes exist. And it is this variety of soils and terrains that gives this vineyard unique character. Elegant, nuanced, floral, subtle, clear, long aftertaste, lively, radiant, iodine.

The Château Laroque Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé is a great achievement from a domain that has long been one of Saint-Émilion's sleeping giants, the 2019 Laroque unfolds in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, forest floor, rose petals and sweet tobacco. Medium to full bodied, spacious and layered, it is deep and concentrated, with juicy acidity, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile. It is definitely worth seeking out and is a wine with excellent value for money.
