Château Laroque – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2022:

 

Château Laroque: The Next Great Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

Nestled on Saint-Émilion’s famous limestone plateau, Château Laroque is a massive, historic estate crafting wines of exceptional purity and structure. Since the arrival of Director David Suire, this Grand Cru Classé has rocketed to prominence, delivering a classic Right Bank experience that balances rich Merlot fruit with the chalky tension of its unique terroir.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep, intense ruby-purple.
• Nose: A powerful yet refined bouquet of pristine black fruit (blackberry, dark plum), graphite, cedar, and a hint of violet.
• Palate: The entry is linear and precise, immediately showcasing the signature saline freshness of the limestone. Fine-grained, chalky tannins provide a backbone for the dense fruit core, leading to a long, elegant, and focused finish. This is a wine built to age.

Pairing & Serving

Decant for two hours if enjoying young, and serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C). A monumental wine for your most special occasions.

• Pairing: Beef Wellington, Roasted Rack of Lamb, Duck Confit, Truffled dishes.
• Cellaring: Excellent aging potential-easily 10+ years.
