Owned by the Beaumartin family since the 1930s, Château Laroque is a Grand Cru Classé estate which takes its name from Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau. Its vineyard spans a continuous 61-hectare area, but only 27 hectares of the property is reserved for the grand vin. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, around 50% new. Expect notes of cassis, wild blackberries, pepper, cornflower, plus hints of incense and vanilla.

The 2019 Laroque lacks a bit of complexity on the nose - high-toned black fruit, touches of hickory and crushed black peppercorns. Slightly animally in style, though attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite pliant, well balanced with a smooth and quite velvety finish. After a slow entrance, it starts to seduce and I strongly suspect it would have deserved a more generous score in line with my previous assessments given more aeration. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
