Punteggi dei critici
95 Robert Parker
The 2018 Laroque is composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new barriques. The alcohol is 14.5% and the pH is 3.48. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with flamboyant notes of stewed black plums, Black Forest cake and boysenberries, plus hints of candied violets, star anise and unsmoked cigars with a playful waft of sassafras. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by plush tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, spiced cherries, cloves, praline, tea leaves and crushed gravel. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins and fresh acidity. Fleshy, chewy layers lead to a long, mineral finish. Late bottling helped here. Try from 2023.

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.
