Max score: 93

Drink To: 2029-2045

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 was picked at 41hL/ha between 14 and 30 September, representing 45% of the total production. It has a clean and precise bouquet with brambly red fruit, hints of liquorice and iodine. Quite voluptuous in style, though thankfully, it retains delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red fruit. Fine structure, very supple in the mouth. The lightly spiced finish comes across just a little sweeter than I would have liked, prompting me to be a bit more cautious with my score than I otherwise might have been.
