Les Tours de Laroque Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is the second wine from Chateau Laroque, a selection of over 50 year-old vines that shows finesse, purity and authenticity of this great terroir.
The wine is particularly attractive and approachable when young with its bright, floral and spicy character. It is elegant and velvety, has a fresh salinity and a noble texture, and offers good acidity with firm tannins.
Charcuterie, red grilled meat, mushrooms.
"Lots of dark chocolate on the nose with blueberries, ripe blackberries, plums, dried lavender, toast and mahogany. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Needs time to soften. Try in 2025."

"The second wine of Château Laroque, the 2019 Les Tours De Laroque is certainly worth checking out. It shows the purity and precision of the Grand Vin, only in a more up-front, soft, charming, medium-bodied package. The blend is 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, and it's balanced, pure, and undeniably delicious. Drink it any time over the coming decade."
