Château Laroque
Perched above Saint‑Émilion on a rocky limestone plateau near Saint‑Christophe‑des‑Bardes, Château Laroque feels more like a fortress than a winery. Its story reaches back to a 12th‑century tower, while the château as we know it was shaped in the 17th century under the Marquis de Rochefort‑Lavie.
Among the largest holdings in the appellation, the vineyard lies on clay‑limestone soils where Merlot leads and Cabernet Franc adds lift; only the finest parcels are reserved for the Grand Vin. Harvesting is handled plot by plot, guided by exposure and water balance, so scale never becomes anonymity.
Measured élevage in barriques aims for texture and longevity rather than loud oak. Laroque translates history into modern precision—letting limestone speak with clarity and turning breadth of land into meticulous detail.Château Laroque
