Grands crus atlas
Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page.
Superbly located on one of the highest points of Saint-Émilion, Laroque's limestone terroirs produce wines that are bright, floral and spicy, with a fresh salinity and a noble texture that are the hallmark of this estate.
On the edge of the rocky plateau, overlooking the hillsides that undulate in the great Saint-Laurent combe, LA-ROQUE sets the tone. The vines are rooted throughout the three types of limestone emblematic of the appellation: plateaux of blond clay (to the west) and red clay (Agenais molasse, to the east) over asteriated limestone, terraces to the east and slopes to the west on fine creamy-white clay (Fronsadais molasse). This variety of soils and relief gives the vineyard its unique character.
Alcohol, yield and vine age are those of the 2025 vintage; they vary from year to year. Only the area above stays stable from one vintage to the next.
