Laroque delivers another XXL performance, rated 94/100 O. Poussier!
It has become a popular address for connoisseurs, and will soon become a landmark for all!
A Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé, magnificently situated on the appellation's limestone plateau, Château Laroque's terroir is outrageously well-suited to producing great wines.
Although it is one of the oldest crus in the appellation, over the last 10 years it has undergone a slow metamorphosis that has placed it among the finest wines in the appellation. The arrival of David Suire at the head of the estate has greatly contributed to this spectacular transformation.
The 2023 vintage is no exception to his relentless success: once again, it's all there! The wine is fresh, the tannins velvety, the fruit juicy, the finish long and sapid. The quintessence of its style!
Château Laroque is now playing in the big leagues, rubbing shoulders with the elite of its appellation without approaching its tariff peaks...
This is undoubtedly one of the best value-for-money wines in its category. Rare enough to deserve a mention.
Opt for this judicious choice!
