Fantastisk beliggende på et af de højeste punkter i Saint-Emilion, træder Laroques kalkstensterroirer igen glimrende igennem i årgang 2019. De producerer vine, der er lyse, aromatiske og krydrede, med frisk saltholdighed og en ædel tekstur, som er kendetegnene for Château Laroque.

"Composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Laroque was harvested from the 30th of September to the 10th of October. Yields were 43 hectoliters per hectare this year. Alcohol came in at 14.5%, with a relatively low pH of 3.44. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with bold scents of blueberry preserves, Black Forest cake, dark chocolate and lilacs with underlying hints of aniseed, espresso and pencil lead plus a waft of smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely filled with dark, seductive berry layers and a whole myriad of savory nuances, framed by wonderfully soft, velvety tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful!"
