2019 Château Laroque, Grand Cru St-Emilion
Situated on St-Emilion’s famed limestone plateau, but with merlot planted on deep clay soils abutting Château Troplong-Mondot, Château Laroque’s terroir couldn’t be much better. Yet without much attention, it’s flown under the radar for years. Until now. From 2018 David Suire has managed the estate. He’s best known for his work at Larcis-Ducasse, working alongside Nicolas Thienpont to turn it into one of St-Emilion’s most prized properties.
