Les Tours de Laroque 2019 is an emblematic wine of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, produced from carefully selected parcels. It embodies the perfect balance between aromatic richness, structure and elegance that defines the great wines of Bordeaux’s Right Bank.

Blending and vinification

This wine is predominantly made from Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc, the classic grape varieties of Saint-Émilion. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to fully express the complexity of the terroir. Traditional vinification is carried out with controlled extraction to preserve tannin finesse. Ageing in oak barrels refines the structure and adds elegant, well-integrated oak nuances.
