Chateau Laroque Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Das Chateau Larouque liegt in der Saint Emilion Gemeinde von Saint Christophe des Bardes. Die Weinberge liegen auf dem Kalksteinplateau von Saint Emilion, die Rebstöcke haben ein sehr hohen Durchschnittsalter von über 50 Jahren. Gerade im Jahrgang 2018 hat dieses tiefgreifende Rebmaterial von Chateau Laroque dazu geführt, dass die alten Merlot und Cabernet Franc Reben keine Probleme hatten die Trauben mit ausreichenden Nährstoffen zu versorgen.

Wir freuen uns sehr dieses Weingut mit dem Jahrgang 2018 neu ins Sortiment aufgenommen zu haben. Wir freuen uns auf viele weitere grossartige Jahrgänge des Chateau Laroque.

Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Chateau Laroque 2018 imMärz 2021 wie folgt:

The 2018 Laroque is every bit as impressive as it was from barrel. Silky, polished and refined, the 2018 marks a major step forward for the château. Lavender, spice, blueberry, cedar and mint all grace a Saint-Émilion built more on finesse than power. The long, persistent finish, with its saline accents, adds to the wine's pedigree. The 2018 is beautifully done. The blend is 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Technical Director David Suire gave the 2018 lots 26-29 days on the skins fermented in cement, with manual pump-overs and punch-downs. New oak is 55%

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

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.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Laroque 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

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.

Die Bordeaux Subskription 2020 - Primeurs 2020

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Laroque 2020 Saint Emilion :

The 2020 Laroque is a blend of 99% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aging for around 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The alcohol is 14.5%. Displaying a deep purple-black color, it slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal fantastically opulent notes of Indian spices, rose oil, dark chocolate and licorice, over a core of blueberry preserves, stewed plums and mulberries, plus a hint of dried mint. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with layers of black and blue fruits, accented by exotic spices and supported by a racy backbone and velvety tannins, finishing long and perfumed. Gorgeous.

94-95 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Laroque 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Laroque 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:

This is really focused and linear with tight, minerally tannins that are polished and energetic. It’s medium-to full-bodied with dark and blue fruit in the center palate. Long and focused.

93-95 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Laroque 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Laroque:

The 2020 Laroque was cropped at 34hl/ha, picked September 21–30. It has a very composed bouquet of blackberry, wild strawberry and crushed limestone scents, beautifully defined with very well integrated oak. You could just nose this all day. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, blueberry and a judicious pinch of black pepper. This is very harmonious and as fresh as a daisy. Possibly the best Laroque that winemaker David Suire has overseen to date.
