Located on a Plateau on one of the highest points of Saint-Emilion, Château Laroque extends across 61ha of land. Composed of chestnut-coloured and red clays over asteria limestone with East-facing terraces and chalky, West-facing slopes of fine blueish clay, the vines are over 50 years old. This wine is a blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc and goes through reductive ageing.
Tasting Notes:
“So well put together, you feel the deft strokes of the winemaking layered on top of the terroir, and it's an impressive whole that combines power and restraint. Cassis and blueberry fruits, liquorice and espresso, mouth-watering finish but everything unfolding oh so slowly. No rush here. Yields of 43hl/ha. 3.44pH. Owned by the family Beaumartin, with winemaking from David Suire. An upscore from En Primeur.” Score: 95 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, November 2021
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with beef, lamb, game and poultry dishes.
