A second wine that's well worth seeking out, the 2020 Les Tours De Laroque offers a pretty, medium-bodied, incredibly elegant yet textured profile with plenty of fruit, some floral and obvious mineral nuances, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's a beautiful second wine that shows a touch of the class and elegance found in the Grand Vin.

The 2020 Les Tours de Laroque has quite a perfumed, peppermint-tinged bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, nicely integrated oak, fleshy with a slightly herbaceous finish. Maybe a bit short?
The 2020 Les Tours de Laroque is a gorgeous second wine that captures the elegance and personality of the Grand Vin. Silky and nuanced, with notable depth, Les Tours is a total delight. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, blood orange and crushed rocks all run through this striking Saint-Émilion.
You always feel that you are in safe hands with Laroque, and this is a brilliant 2nd wine, great balance and sculpted black fruits, shows the austerity of the vintage but it's impressive with grip and estate signature. A great value choice.
