Situated on the highest limestone plateau in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, this wine is a true expression of its magnificent terroir. Under the meticulous direction of David Suire, Laroque has become known for its elegant style, focusing on freshness, precision, and the noble structure that only great limestone soils can provide.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Colour:<\/b> Deep, vibrant purple-red.<\/li>\n<li><b>Nose:<\/b> Intense aromas of dark woodland fruits, blackcurrant, and plum, layered with complex notes of cedar, liquorice, and a characteristic chalky minerality.<\/li>\n<li><b>Palate:<\/b> The palate is beautifully poised-powerful yet refined. The fine, velvety tannins are perfectly integrated with the concentrated Merlot fruit, while a refreshing, saline lift carries the flavour through a persistent, distinguished finish. A claret of pedigree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Food Pairing &amp; Decanting<\/h2>\n<p>We recommend decanting this wine for up to two hours when opening a younger vintage.
