Decanter bewertete (01/2025) Château Laroque 2022 wie folgt: „A pure and focussed nose full of ripe but cool black fruit with soft hints of violets and vanilla. This delighted during Primeurs and it’s turned out excellently in bottle. Juicy, clean and crystalline with a perfect balance of fruit, tannins and acidity with plenty of underling power but delivered so elegantly. Great harmony and drinkability on offer. Ends salty with graphite and slate really putting the limestone terroir into the glass. Delicious. Another excellent bottle from this rising start estate under the helm of David Suire.“ – 97 Punkte
Jane Anson bewertete (01/2025) Château Laroque 2022 wie folgt: „Superb quality delivering grip and lift, with the fleshy black fruits underpinned by steel, crushed slate and softer crayon.

Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (04/2025) Château Laroque 2022 wie folgt: „Looking at the Grand Vin 2022 Château Laroque, it checks in as 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc raised in 60% new oak with a mix in larger formats, as well as a portion in foudre. Gorgeous black raspberries, spring flowers, graphite, and truffly mineral and crushed stone-like nuances all shine in this stunningly complex, medium to full-bodied effort. With ripe, polished tannins, perfectly integrated acidity, and ultra-fine tannins, it’s going to drink well for at least 30 years. The alcohol here is a healthy 14.7 with a pH of 3.4. This is an absolutely gorgeous wine! Buy a case for your cellar. You can thank me later. “ – 97 Punkte
A. Galloni bewertete (02/2025) Château Laroque 2022 wie folgt: „The 2022 Laroque is even better from bottle than it was en primeur. Dark, rich and enveloping, the 2022 is seriously impressive. Black cherry, leather, licorice, dried herbs and mocha race across the palate. The possesses superb depth and nuance while capturing all of the richness of the year. Laroque is very clearly one of the sleepers of the year. Superb. “ – 95 Punkte
Vinum und vvWine-ch bewerteten (01/2025) Château Laroque 2022 wie folgt: „Anfangs verhalten, sehr tiefgründig, florale Noten, merklich Kalkstein, Veilchen, Gräser; am Gaumen beginnt der Wein zitrisch, schlank, baut aus füllt den Gaumen, ungemein reichhaltig, dabei nicht üppig, knackige Frucht, umgarnt von feinsten Tanninen, nervige Säure, viel Frische, grosse Eleganz, endet salin. Einmal mehr ausgezeichnet und vermutlich einer der besten Weinwerte im 2022. MUST Buy!. “ – 96 Punkte
