CHATEAU LES TOURS DE LAROQUE SAINT EMILION 2019
Country: France, Bordeaux, Saint Emilion
Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinification & Ageing: Fruit from clay soils is matured in classic 225-litre barriques, while fruit from limestone-rich soils is matured in larger barrels, foudres, and oak tanks. The wine undergoes a meticulous selection process, with Les Tours de Laroque sourced mainly from clay soils, producing a fleshier, more immediate profile than Château Laroque.
Tasting Notes: Bursts with notes of raspberries, plums, liquorice, and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and seamless with bright fruit flavours and ripe tannins. Finishes slightly heady yet lively, with a structured and layered profile.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

Cab.Sauvignon Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
