Punteggi dei critici
94 Robert Parker
A terrific effort from an estate that was long one of Saint-Émilion's sleeping giants, the 2019 Laroque unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, loamy soil, rose petals and sweet tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with succulent aids, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile. It's well worth seeking out.

Blackcurrant, cherry and violet aromas follow through to a medium to full body with very well-integrated tannins that give a soft and creamy impression. Long and satisfying already, but needs another three or four years to come together. Try after 2023.

Still a touch reticent but it's all there, from the dark plum and warmed cassis notes to the underpinning of warm loam and sweet tobacco accents. Features fine-grained tannins, with good cut through the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 11,800 cases made, 1,840 cases imported. — JM

Château Laroque
Con una storia che risale fino al XII secolo, la recente rinascita dello Château Laroque comincia a metà degli anni 30 del Novecento, quando la famiglia Beaumartin acquistò la tenuta. Ricostruendo totalmente la cantina e reimpiantando i vigneti, questi grandi sforzi hanno ripagato con la promozione della tenuta allo stato Grand Cru Classé nel 1996. Oggi, Laroque spicca come uno degli châteaux più belli sulla Riva Destra, con impressionanti strutture architettoniche e giardini tenuti in modo impeccabile. Impiantati per l’87% a Merlot, l’11% a Cabernet Franc e il 2% a Cabernet Sauvignon, i vigneti occupano un’area di 61 ettari, fatto che la rende la più grande proprietà a Saint-Émilion. I vini che ne derivano interpretano il terroir unico della tenuta, mostrando lati setosi che sono al tempo stesso eleganti ed equilibrati. Accuratamente assemblati e invecchiati in barrique di rovere francese nuove al 50%, i vini risultanti sono fatti per mostrare l’indole naturale e autentica della regione.
