2025 Laroque
Buying options
Tasting notes
There is an immediate aromatic draw from the glass. The 2025 concentration is there, carried by bright red and dark fruit, a fine mineral line and ripe, finely drawn tannins. Dense without weight, with no heat, viscosity or excess, this is a wine that captures the best of the vintage: freshness, balance, clarity and quiet seriousness.

The 2025 Laroque is a gorgeous, super-elegant wine. Vibrant, salivating acids and beams of tannin are the first signs we are on the clay/limestone plateau in Saint-Émilion's Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes sector. Blood orange, mint, chalk and white pepper bleed into a core of red-toned fruit. Medium in body, with striking energy and tension, Laroque is positively stellar in 2025. This is another superb showing from the team led by Technical Director David Suire. Tasted two times.
The balance of savory fruit with fine tannins is already so attractive. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a refined finish.
Slate and pumice stone, enjoyable slow build of cassis bud, pomegranate, wet stones, thoroughly enjoyable with plenty of expansion and grip, and estate signature. Harvest September 10 to 19. 50% new oak. Yield 31 hl/ha. 3.4 pH. Beaumartin family.
