CHATEAU LAROQUE SAINT EMILION 2016 MAGNUM 1.5L

A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Elegance

The Chateau Laroque 2016 exemplifies the art of Bordeaux winemaking, featuring a meticulously crafted blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. This vintage was hand-harvested and aged for one year in an optimal combination of 30% new oak barrels and stainless steel, which imbues the wine with a refined complexity and a harmonious balance.

The wine opens with an enticing bouquet, where aromas of ripe blackberries and cassis meld beautifully with floral notes of violet and a hint of tobacco, creating a rich sensory experience. On the palate, this Margaux reveals a sophisticated array of flavors: lush blackcurrant and juicy plum are elegantly intertwined with subtle undertones of vanilla and mocha, while a touch of graphite adds depth and intrigue.

Structured yet supple, the palate is supported by well-integrated acidity that leads to a long, satisfying finish, making this vintage not only accessible in its youth but also capable of aging gracefully. The Chateau Laroque 2016 is a testament to the seamless integration of Cabernet Sauvignon’s freshness and Merlot’s rounded opulence, offering a wine that is both opulent and poised, perfect for discerning enthusiasts seeking a quintessential experience.
