Property identity

1610

Like a gem nestling amongst the vine slopes, Château Laroze preserves within its walls one of Saint-Emilion’s greatest treasures. 400 years of what amazingly still remains family winegrowing, make up the living memory of this property and Saint-Emilion itself. Today, Guy Meslin is its trustee, more than simply its owner.

Situation

27 hectares (66.7 acres) of vines surround a magnificent 2-hectare (5-acre) treed park and a 19th century mansion, built in the Napoleon III style. The vines grow at the foot of the slope in a single plot, located 1.5 km (1 mile) north-west of the historic village of Saint-Emilion.

Geology

The history of Château Laroze wines begins with its soil, which is both siliceous and clayey. The former contributes elegant subtlety and the latter lends structure to the wines. Also part of the story are five grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
