Chateau Laroque2015
About this product
The largest estate in St Emillion, Laroque has been in the Beaumartin family since 1935, but has been completely revitalised and garnered a cult following in the last decade. The vineyards were originally put down in the 18th Century, with the current vines planted in the 1960s. David Suire has taken in the mantle of winemaker with aplomb - his most recent releases being consistently excellent. The property also produces fruit for wines sold as Chateau Peymouton and the estate’s second wine Les Tours de Laroque.

Medium deep colour. An intensely aromatic wine with dark plum, elderberry liquorice aromas. A generous fleshy, yet vigorous palate with attractive juicy ripe fruits, firm touch bitter tannins and underlying savoury oak. Finishes chalky firm with inky notes. Everything seemingly in balance. David Suire is making impactful wine at this estate. Definitely worth seeking out. Tasted at Crus et Domaines.
