The Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Laroque is composed of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new barriques. The alcohol is 14.5% and the pH is 3.48. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with flamboyant notes of stewed black plums, Black Forest cake and boysenberries, plus hints of candied violets, star anise and unsmoked cigars with a playful waft of sassafras. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy black fruits, supported by plush tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and fragrant."

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Laroque is a little closed to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal fragrant black cherries, wild blueberries and blackberry preserves scents with hints of crushed rocks, underbrush and violets plus a waft of Marmite toast. Full-bodied and jam-packed with bright, crunchy black and blue fruits, it has a firm line of ripe, fine-grained tannins and loads of freshness, finishing very long and layered. Impressive! Being aged in oak barriques, 50% new, the blend is 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc."

Decanter Magazine

"Beautifully measured, elegant and restrained, this has juiciness and hidden power. It's definitely less exuberant than some, giving tight black fruits and fine tannins alongside a limestone grip and a slate crawl across the palate, slowing you down and forcing you to pay attention as the floral character comes slowly winding out of the glass."

Jeff Leve

"Inky in hue, the wine looks like a dark gemstone with purple around the edge. With just one swirl, you get black and blue fruits, flowers, incense, licorice, dark chocolate and smoke. Powerful, full-bodied, concentrated, and intense, this vintage is at an entirely new level for Laroque. The wine manages to remain balanced between its opulent nature, incredible level of density, silky palate feel and length. The wine was made with 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, reaching 14.5 alcohol with a pH of 3.48. This is your hot tip of the day: Chateau Laroque is a diamond in the rough and the wine sells for a pittance despite the high level of quality. This will change as the wine gets discovered so buy it now if this reads like your style of wine."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en primeur.
Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez fruité, mûr, suave et épicé. Minutieux dès l'attaque, puis suave et parfumé en milieu de bouche, le vin évolue ascendant, juteux, profond et noble, avec du goût dans la persistance, une nuance sanguine et épicée et des tannins très fins. Assemblage : 97 % merlot, 3 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 14°5 (moyenne plus) - pH : 3,48 (moyenne). Rendement : 46 hl/ha. 2018 est le quatrième millésime complet de David Suire sur cette propriété. Pour mémoire, il vinifie aussi Larcis Ducasse et Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse. En 2018, le terroir de Laroque (75 % sur le plateau calcaire, avec des zones plus argileuses, puis en coteaux) sert positivement l'expression du vin. Vous noterez que cet assemblage audacieux est quasiment un 100 % merlot redessiné par l'énergie du terroir. 2028 – 2045"

"This is really delicious with so much dark-berry and stone character. Full to medium body and super, integrated tannins. Bright and generous. One of the best from here. We will see if it is better than 2016 and 2015."

Jeb Dunnuck

"A blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc representing just 41% of the total production, the 2018 Château Laroque is still resting in barrels and oak tanks. Its deep purple color is followed by a classy bouquet of ripe black cherries, cassis, graphite, licorice, and crushed rocks. Deep, medium to full-bodied, with beautiful mid-palate and ripe, silky tannins, it´s a beautiful success for the estate, which appears to be firing on all cylinders today thanks to the talented team of David Suire and Nicolas Thienpont!"

"Well-proportioned, featuring cassis and blackberry fruit, balanced by brambly grip, juicy acidity and lively anise and black tea details. Very nicely put together."

"David Suire a bien maîtrisé le millésime où le côté calcaire du terroir apporte la fraîcheur deconstitution, avec une ampleur du millésime bien corsetée. Un tournant dans l’histoire du cru."

VINOUS

"The 2018 Laroque is a very pretty, pliant Saint-Émilion. Bright red raspberry, blood orange, mint and sweet floral notes give the 2018 striking energy to play off a core of radiant, supple fruit. Medium in body and gracious, Laroque has so much to offer in 2018. Although Laroque is not one of the most concentrated or structured Saint-Émilions, it is a wine of superb drinkability and pure pleasure. The blend is 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Technical Director David Suire gave the 2018 lots 26-29 days on the skins fermented in cement, with manual pumpovers and punchdowns. New oak is 55%. Suire, best known for his work alongside Nicolas Thienpont, is doing great things at Laroque. Tasted four times."

"97% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc

Purpurviolett. Bouquet von guter Intensität, das Noten von Süßholz, Himbeeren und Brombeeren offenbart. Am Gaumen ist der Wein cremig, sanft und balanciert. Der Wein hat Körper, Schwung und perfekt integrierte Tannine, die das Rückgrat optimal bilden. Sie sind mit der Säurestruktur im Einklang, und zusammen bilden diese beiden Elemente die Grundlage von Laroque. Schöne Aromatik im Abgang, wo ich auch Frische finde.  2024-2043"
