The 2020 Laroque has a nose that has closed down a little since bottling, though the quality still shines through with blackberry and raspberry fruit, undergrowth, rose petals and light orange rind aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, sweet and candied with a plush finish. It just needs a little more grip and sapidity, though that should emerge with bottle age. Impressive. - Neil Martin
Owned by the Beaumartin family since 1935, Château Laroque stands as one of the largest estates in Saint-Émilion, encompassing around 61 hectares of vineyards. This offering represents the Grand Vin of the estate`s 2020 vintage, meticulously crafted from a blend of 99% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The grapes underwent plot-by-plot vinification in small concrete vats, employing gentle punch-downs and pump-overs for a seamless extraction. The Château Laroque 2020 entices with its captivating bouquet of floral and spicy aromas, refreshing salinity, and a velvety smooth texture.
