Description

This grand cru classé represents the largest vineyard in Saint Emilion, consisting of 61 hectares of vines that thrive on a limestone plateau and clay-limestone soil. The vines have an average age of 42 years and face east and west.

In the cellar, the wine is put into vats by gravity, in a parcel-by-parcel manner, then once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in barrels and tuns for 12 months. The mouth has a surprising freshness and finesse, which blossoms on round and melted tannins.

Wine Advocate : “Exhibiting aromas of dark, minty berries, bay leaf and creamy new oak, the 2023 Laroque is medium to full-bodied, with a sweet core of fruit, powdery tannins and a penetrating, mineral finish.”
