2019 Chateau Laroque, St Emilion, Bordeaux

HoldPlentifulNeal Martin 92-94/100

Saint-Émilion (often written St-Émilion) is one of Bordeaux’s largest and most historic wine appellations. Officially classified in 1954, it produces more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St-Estèphe, Pauillac, St-Julien and Margaux combined. In fact, St-Emilion wine predates the Médoc, though early commercial success was limited by poor access to Bordeaux’s port. It is home to many small-batch, intensely concentrated wines.
