2020, Château Laroque, SAINT-ÉMILION, Grand CruThe 2020 Laroque has turned out nicely, bursting with aromas of cherries, minty blackberries, licorice and bay leaf. Medium to full bodied, velvety and layered, with good depth at the core, chalky but refined tannins and a saline finish, it's another strong performance for this rising star of Saint milion. 93, William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

Has a fingerprint of the warmth of the vintage

It boasts impressive staying power with a real depth of concentration of fruit

Fournières offers a sturdy style of fruit which has resisted the oak well

with a lovely headily ripe bouquet

There’s good complexity and depth

blueberry and black cherry

juicy blueberries

with Champeaux and Charmes-Chambertin thrown in

A very stylish and exceptionally precise bouquet

more backward than the others
