Energy and depth define this 2019 from Chateau Laroque, with vivid dark cherry and plum fruit layered by floral tones, gentle spice and a cool, stony freshness. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet graceful, with fine, polished tannins and bright acidity giving a long, poised finish that clearly shows this vintage’s precision and lift over the richer 2018 style.

Château Laroque is a Merlot-dominant Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé from the limestone plateau east of the village, produced only from a strict selection of the estate’s oldest, best-sited vines. The grand vin is known for its bright, floral and spicy character, marked salinity and chalky minerality, and a supple yet structured profile that reflects its deep clay-limestone soils and high-elevation, single-block vineyard.
