Château Laroze 2019

A great wine from Saint-Émilion by Château Laroze

The estate
Current owner of Château Laroze, the Meslin family descends directly from the founders of the Laroze estate in 1882. This centuries-old lineage has enabled Château Laroze to build a unique winemaking identity in the heart of Saint-Émilion.

The vineyard

Château Laroze's vineyard extends over 27 hectares. The vines, averaging 25 years old, are planted on a silica-on-clay soil characteristic of Saint-Émilion.

The vintage
After a mild autumn and a cool early winter, temperatures rose, leading to an early bud break. The cool, wet spring was followed by a hot, dry summer, heralding a homogeneous and rapid veraison. The day/night temperature variations enhance the aromatic quality of the berries, which reach perfect maturity for the harvest.

Winemaking and aging
Aging in new French oak barrels and in jars.

Blend
This Château Laroze 2019 is a blend of Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%).
