The 2009 Red Château Laroque Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a quintessential Bordeaux, ready to enjoy now. Benefiting from positive ageing while retaining fresh flavours, it offers aromas of macerated fruits, balsamic nuances, and a polished oak character with hints of fine wood and cinnamon. The texture is smooth and well-rounded, with impressive freshness and balance. A refined choice to pair with truffle-stuffed poularde or roasted poultry with chestnuts. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee. |
