David Suire has resurrected this magnificent estate in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, with a string of highly impressive wines. The 2021 is another excellent example from this high-flying St Emilion. Produced from 99% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc from very old vines (more than 50 years old). Dark and seductive, notes of mulberry, cinnamon and liquorice mix with bright red berries. There’s a good core of black cherry, hedgerow fruit and crushed rocks. Intense and focussed, this finishes with smooth tannins and an array of salty minerals.
David Suire’s Laroque is an outstanding St Emilion, which for the time being is still a relative bargain. Not many clarets at just over £20 per bottle can boast scores in the mid-nineties, yet Laroque has achieved this feat in three consecutive vintages:2018, 2019 and 2020. The wines are concentrated, but not overblown, with a real sense of harmony and balance. Although it is a huge estate, only about half of the production makes it into the grand vin.
