2023 Château Laroque, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 99% Merlot; 1% Cabernet Franc. 

There is a superb intensity to every element of this energetic and alluring wine. The property lies to the east of the appellation, on limestone, but in two manifestations. The first is pure Astéries, as on the Côtes by the town and the other with a clay topsoil over limestone like Troplong-Mondot. These combine for power and purity, and with David Suire’s guiding hand, there is nothing to excess. It starts with succulent blue fruits on the palate, becoming herbal and graphite tones and finishing with a flourish of crunchy freshness. 

Drink 2028 - 2046

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
