Der neue Superstar in diesem Preissegment in Bordeaux. Von den Kritikern zurecht gefeiert und mit enorm hohen Bewertungen in jedem Jahrgang ausgezeichnet, was mehr als gerechtfertigt ist, wie wir finden.
James Suckling bewertet den Wein mit 93/100 Punkten und meint: "Spiced red cherries, plums, graphite, cocoa powder and a touch of mineral. Medium-bodied palate with fine, silky tannins and a juicy, nuanced finish. Elegant and polished. Drink now but can hold, too."-
Parker gibt 92+/100 Punkte und schreibt: "The 2021 Laroque opens in the glass with aromas of dark, minty berries, orange zest and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate with a sweet core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, mineral finish. This has turned out very nicely in bottle, and given its low-pH profile, it's likely to reward some bottle age. 92+." -
Von Vinous (Antonio Galloni) gibts 94 Punkte "The 2021 Laroque is classy, elegant and polished. A wine of stature and breeding, Laroque is a quintessentially finessed Saint-Émilion. Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather, licorice and menthol. All the elements are very nicely balanced."
