FINE+RARE: Ch. Laroque, Saint-Emilion

About the producer

Ch. Laroque is a Saint-Emilion estate which takes its name from the plateau of limestone rock on which it sits.

lose to the village of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, the site has a long history of vine-growing stretching back to the 16th century. The property as we currently know it was formed in 1935, when it was purchased by the Beaumartin family in the wake of the phylloxera crisis. The family has invested significantly in the estate, prompting its elevation to Grand Cru Classé in 1996, and still owns the estate, with Stanislas Droin at the helm today (taking over in 2018 from his uncle Xavier Beaumartin).

It is the largest property in Saint-Emilion, with 61 hectares of vines – although only 27 of them are used for the Grand Vin. While they are spread over a range of terroirs, a significant portion sits on clay-rich soils neighbouring those of Ch. Troplong Mondot. The vineyards are planted mainly to Merlot (87%), with 11% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, with an average age of 40 and all farmed organically (but not certified).

David Suire (previously of Ch. Larcis Ducasse and Ch. Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse) was hired to make the wines in 2015, starting a new, particularly exciting chapter for the estate. He has made several changes and taken out a significant soil study of the estate, embarking on a replanting programme. Extraction is now much more gentle, with the Grand Vin entirely made with free-run juice. Maturation varies according to the terroir, with the use of foudres and older oak rather than new wood to complement the lighter style of wine from limestone plots. Elevage is around 15-18 months for the Grand Vin.

The second wine is Les Tours de Laroque. Total production is around 25,000 cases a year.
