2010 Château Laforge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The 2010 Château Laforge, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a powerful, Merlot-driven Right Bank Bordeaux (92% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc) that reflects the richness and structure of the excellent 2010 vintage. It opens with an expressive nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum layered with graphite, incense, forest floor, and subtle truffle and spice notes. On the palate it is full-bodied and opulent, with dense dark fruit, polished yet firm tannins, and a deep, velvety texture balanced by fresh acidity and underlying minerality. The finish is long and structured, carrying notes of licorice, cocoa, and savory earth, showing both immediate appeal and the ability to continue evolving, making it ideal with roasted meats, lamb, game, or rich, earthy dishes
