About Laroque

Producer Story

Laroque is made from historical vineyards in the ancient region of Carcassonne that produce an extraordinary and unique wine made from 100% Chardonnay.
Laroque (from the latin roqua) derives its name from the Menhirs (a single standing stone that dates back to the middle of the Bronze Age like Stonehenge) which are found around Carcassonne. During the Middle Ages, the vineyards belonged to the Bishop of Carcassonne, who was renowned for making the best wines in the region. The soil on which the vines are planted date back to the pre-historic Jurassic Period. Recent excavations have uncovered brontosauras dinosaur bones and fossilized dinosaur eggs.
