Jane Anson bewertete (11/2021) Château Laroque 2019 wie folgt: “So well put together, you feel the deft strokes of the winemaking layered on top of the terroir, and it’s an impressive whole that combines power and restraint. Cassis and blueberry fruits, liquorice and espresso, mouth-watering finish but everything unfolding oh so slowly. No rush here. Yields of 43hl/ha. 3.44pH. Owned by the family Beaumartin, with winemaking from David Suire. An upscore from En Primeur. ” – 95 Punkte
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate bewertete (4/2022) Château Laroque 2019 wie folgt: “A terrific effort from an estate that was long one of Saint-Émilion’s sleeping giants, the 2019 Laroque unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, loamy soil, rose petals and sweet tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it’s deep and concentrated, with succulent aids, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile. It’s well worth seeking out.” – 94 Punkte
Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (4/2022) Château Laroque 2019 wie folgt: “I continue to just love this château, which is located in one of the cooler terroirs in the appellation, sitting on pure limestone soils. Director David Suire continues to fine-tune every aspect of the estate and is the driving force behind the incredible quality we’re seeing today. The 2019 Château Laroque is as classy as they come, with an incredible level of refinement and elegance. Ripe black cherries, blueberries, violets, white truffle, and cedar pencil all define the aromatics, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with incredible tannins, perfect balance, and a great finish. It doesn’t quite have the density of, say, Canon or Clos Fourtet, yet it doesn’t lose a beat with regard to purity, finesse, and elegance. It’s a gorgeous Saint-Emilion that readers will love to have in the cellar. It offers pleasure today yet won’t hit the early stages of maturity for another 5-7 years and will have 20-25 years of overall longevity, probably more” – 95 Punkte
Jeff Leve bewertete (03/2022) Château Laroque 2019 wie folgt: “Dark chocolate, spice-box, smoke, licorice, espresso and plums carry the nose. The wine is full-bodied, deep, rich, lush and plush on the palate with layers of ripe, supple, silky dark red fruits with intensity, purity, and salty tannins. The wine is hitting all the right notes. And even better, as good as it is now, with some age, this is going to be even better. This is in competition for the highest scoring, well-priced wine in all of Bordeaux. This is a reminder, grab this wine by the case. Eventually, prices will rise. Remember, you heard it here first. Drink from 2023-2045 ” – 95 Punkte
