The largest wine estate in Saint-Émilion, Château Laroque have built a reputation for creating bright, spicy and distinctive wines that are imbued with a fresh salinity that remains a hallmark of this estate. Its 61-hectare vineyard is planted with Merlot (c.87%), Cabernet Franc (c.11%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.2%). Only 27 hectares of vineyard are used to produce their top wine which are located on deep clay-rich soils close to the illustrious Château Troplong Mondot. Their grand vin is vinified in cement vats and aged for 12 months in 50% new French oak barrels. With perfect ageing capabilities, Château Laroque reaches its peak between 5-20 years of bottle maturing.

Neal Martin

The 2022 Laroque has an outstanding, finely delineated bouquet that retains the precision and <em>mineralite</em> suggested from barrel. There is energy here. The palate is medium-bodied, sapid and focused with fine-boned tannins. Its <em>mineralite</em> comes through again toward the finish. This rejuvenated Saint-Emilion comes highly recommended and continues a strong run of form for this rejuvenated estate.

98% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Fragrant. Sleek and more fruity than tannic with quite a bit of acidity. Just a little mean, which is unusual in 2022. (JR)
