Château Laroque Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé is de afgelopen jaren met recht een rising star van Saint Emilion te noemen. Zeer goede prijs/kwaliteit hier.

Enkele toonaangevende critici:

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux 03-2025, 97/100:  "Superb quality delivering grip and lift, with the fleshy black fruits underpinned by steel, crushed slate and softer crayon. Well defined black fruits, mouthwatering, vivid, energetic, one to look out for. 3.55ph reductive ageing on fine lees, 1st racking after 6 months, harvest September 14 to 30, Vineyard located on the limestone plateau and slopes at one of highest points of St Emilion in St Christophe des Bardes, owned by the Beaumartin family, David Suire director."

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, March 2025, 95/100: "The 2022 Laroque has turned out very well indeed in bottle, offering up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, suave and vibrant palate that's pure, concentrated and penetrating. Harmonious and integrated, this limestone terroir's identity really shines through. 2027 - 2045"
