La Roque

The 2025 vintage is not yet publicly documented with a technical description of its own. The documented Cuvée comes from a vineyard site on brown Miocene marl on the crest of high slopes at around 350 metres. The vines are 35 years old on average; the grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and fermented or macerated for around 30 days in concrete tanks. Earlier vintages were subsequently matured for six to ten months in concrete or used wooden vessels. Aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and spice are described, along with fresh acidity, round to velvety tannins and a rather slender, approachable body. It has not been established whether these details apply unchanged to 2025.
