Fast reiner Merlot auf Kalkstein gewachsen. Satte Schwarzkirsche mit Himbeere, ein berauschendes Nasenerlebnis. Weicher, fruchtiger Mundangang mit fast zu Tränen rührendem Charme, schicker Kirsch-Salz Nachhall, köstlich und für seinen Preis ein Muss-Kauf.

Parker über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

Composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Laroque was harvested from the 30th of September to the 10th of October. Yields were 43 hectoliters per hectare this year. Alcohol came in at 14.5%, with a relatively low pH of 3.44. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with bold scents of blueberry preserves, Black Forest cake, dark chocolate and lilacs with underlying hints of aniseed, espresso and pencil lead plus a waft of smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely filled with dark, seductive berry layers and a whole myriad of savory nuances, framed by wonderfully soft, velvety tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful!

Yves Beck über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

Viel Finesse und Präzision im Bouquet von Laroque. Es weist kreidige und fruchtige Nuancen sowie einen diskreten Hauch von Reifung auf. Am Gaumen ist der Wein saftig, perfekt ausbalanciert und mit feinen Tanninen versehen, die entlang des Gaumens an Kraft gewinnen. Die Säurestruktur verleiht Frische, Schwung und unterstützt die Gaumenaromatik vom Auftakt bis zum Finale. Wieder einmal zeichnet sich Laroque durch Genauigkeit und Energie aus.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

I continue to just love this château, which is located in one of the cooler terroirs in the appellation, sitting on pure limestone soils. Director David Suire continues to fine-tune every aspect of the estate and is the driving force behind the incredible quality we're seeing today. The 2019 Château Laroque is as classy as they come, with an incredible level of refinement and elegance. Ripe black cherries, blueberries, violets, white truffle, and cedar pencil all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with incredible tannins, perfect balance, and a great finish. It doesn't quite have the density of, say, Canon or Clos Fourtet, yet it doesn't lose a beat with regard to purity, finesse, and elegance. It's a gorgeous Saint-Emilion that readers will love to have in the cellar. It offers pleasure today yet won't hit the early stages of maturity for another 5-7 years and will have 20-25 years of overall longevity, probably more.

Jane Anson über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

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.

Mein Winzer

Chateau Laroque

Außerhalb Frankreichs noch ein Geheimtipp, avanciert Château Laroque gerade zu einem Big Player in Saint-Emilion. Bestes Terroir in Verbindung mit akribischer Arbeit in Weinberg und Keller bringen einen Top Wein hervor.
