2022 Château Laroque Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

You will be amazed when you arrive in Laroque. Perched on the edge of a rocky plateau, overlooking the undulating vineyards, the slopes of the grande combe de Saint-Laurent, LA-ROQUE certainly sets the tone. Vines have taken root everywhere, penetrating deeply into the three types of limestone, typical of this appellation: the blond clay (in the west) and red clay (Agen Molasse in the east) on fossilized limestone plateaus and the creamy white clay (Fronsac Molasse) that makes up the east-facing terraces and west-facing slopes. And it is this variety of soils and terrains that gives this vineyard its unique character. Elegant, nuanced, floral, subtle, clear, long finish, lively, radiant, iodine.

Since the arrival of David Suire in 2015, Laroque has grown enormously in quality. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate noted: 'David Suire is resurrecting one of Saint-Emilion's sleeping giants.' Neal Martin of Vinous also says that Laroque is seen as 'Saint-Emilion's brightest rising star'.

The price-quality ratio is exceptional, especially for the 2022 vintage! After the success of this vintage, we suspect that the quality will only continue to grow and that Laroque will become an excellent investment wine in the years to come. We think now is the time to act before it becomes a real challenge to get hold of this vintage!
