Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe 2022

97
/100

Lobenberg: Fast reiner Merlot auf Kalkstein gewachsen. Die Lehm- und Sandterroirs gehen in den Zweitwein. 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. Chateau Laroque hat sich seit 2016 qualitativ kontinuirlich weiter nach oben entwickelt, seit 2019 und danki des neuen Direktors Davis Suire (auch Direktor bei Larcis Ducasse) gab es noch einen Spriung vorwärts. Laroque zählt heute trotz des abenteuerlich tiefen Preises jedes Jahr zu den 20-30 allerbesten Weinen der Appellation, Im Preis-Qualitäts-Verhältnis mit Jean Faure, Coutet, La Fleur, Tour Saint Christophe und Belle-Vue ist Laroque sicher in der ersten Reihe!

Parker über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

-- Parker: The 2022 Laroque has turned out very well indeed in bottle, offering up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, suave and vibrant palate that's pure, concentrated and penetrating. Harmonious and integrated, this limestone terroir's identity really shines through.

Decanter über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

-- Decanter: A clear stand out in 2022 that delivers refined density and sublime drinking pleasure. Smells perfumed and opulent, aromatically expressive and alive on the nose. Full bodied, rich and concentrated, intense and filling - there is clear power but it's so delicately and elegantly presented with such succulence and a juicy, fun and playful fruitiness. Has both push and density as well a delicious mineral tang. This has a slick and sleek character and feels really made. I love the intense juiciness balanced by the plushness of the fruit, more weighty and dense than some with mass appeal, tons of energy and still lovely clean fresh and

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Looking at the Grand Vin 2022 Château Laroque, it checks in as 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc raised in 60% new oak with a mix in larger formats, as well as a portion in foudre. Gorgeous black raspberries, spring flowers, graphite, and truffly mineral and crushed stone-like nuances all shine in this stunningly complex, medium to full-bodied effort. With ripe, polished tannins, perfectly integrated acidity, and ultra-fine tannins, it's going to drink well for at least 30 years. The alcohol here is a healthy 14.7 with a pH of 3.4. This is an absolutely gorgeous wine! Buy a case for your cellar. You can thank me later.

Jane Anson über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

-- Jane Anson: You just know that this estate is well placed to succeed in the vintage, and this really does walk the line of ripeness and salinity, such gorgeous definition and vivid energetic fruit. Stretches out through the palate also, has a relaxed confidece to it that is quite unusual in such a full--on vintage. Really impressive, Beaumartin family, David Suire director.

Vinum über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

-- Vinum: Anfangs verhalten, sehr tiefgründig, florale Noten, merklich Kalkstein, Veilchen, Gräser; am Gaumen beginnt der Wein zitrisch, schlank, baut aus füllt den Gaumen, ungemein reichhaltig, dabei nicht üppig, knackige Frucht, umgarnt von feinsten Tanninen, nervige Säure, viel Frische, grosse Eleganz, endet salin. Einmal mehr ausgezeichnet und vermutlich einer der besten Weinwerte im 2022. MUST Buy!

Galloni über: Chateau Laroque Grand Cru Classe

-- Galloni: The 2022 Laroque is even better from bottle than it was en primeur. Dark, rich and enveloping, the 2022 is seriously impressive. Black cherry, leather, licorice, dried herbs and mocha race across the palate. The possesses superb depth and nuance while capturing all of the richness of the year. Laroque is very clearly one of the sleepers of the year. Superb.
