Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

High aromatics of redcurrant, raspberry leaf, good vivacity and lift, a little high on the acidity count, Meslin family owners at this 27ha estate that has been in the family since 1610, Grand Cru Classé since the first ranking in 1955. Jean Philippe Fort and Hubert de Boüard consultants, 65% new oak for ageing.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep inky plum in colour, vivid violet reflections, this again is classic St Emilion classified in its rich silky texture through the palate, plenty of grip and lift, feels exuberant, damson and black cherry, pomegranate and slate, kick of black chocolate. Meslin family. They have now stopped working organically at Laroze after huge mildew issues in 2021 (although of course only treating where necessary), 30% new oak.

The 2022 Laroze is deep garnet-purple in color. A little subdued to begin, it needs some swirling to coax out notes of black cherries and blackberry preserves, plus hints of violets, cinnamon toast, and garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate is rich and seductive, with plush tannins and a long, spicy finish. This is very pretty!

A blend of 60 % Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Laroze has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It starts off with scents of cedar and rose oil, giving way to a core of juicy blackberries, Morello cherries, and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is filled with black and red berry layers, supported by grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a woody note.

Well judged and sculpted, powerful berry fruits, hedgerow with a touch of St Emilion glamour, lovely power on the finish. This is good, has an uplift and a ton of joy. Tasted twice. This estate really has taken a big step up in quality over the past few years and this is an upscore from En Primeur, very impressive, one to watch.

Laroze 2018 has a deep garnet-purple color. It leaps from the glass with scents of warm blackberries, wild sage, and kirsch, plus wafts of fallen leaves and tree bark. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm and chewy, with just enough freshness and a rustic finish. 

Spiced rosemary, black cherry, fully ripe fruits that head just over the line towards fig and prune, it's enjoyable, full of character, fully ready to drink.
