Château Laroque St-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2015 offers an alluring bouquet of dark plums, black cherries, violets, and subtle floral notes, with hints of mocha and truffle emerging. On the medium-bodied palate, ripe blackberry and blueberry fruits unfold with fine-grained tannins, precise acidity, and a cohesive texture that builds to a fresh, saline finish. The 89% Merlot blend, accented by Cabernet Franc, delivers opulent depth and silkiness reminiscent of top Pavie-Macquin vintages from the same winemaker. This 2015 showcases the vintage’s purity and energy, with old-vine concentration promising further evolution.

Serve at 16–18°C with grilled ribeye or mushroom risotto.
