Overview

• Built around the 1860s, the Château de Laurets featured on the label, is still the pride of the property of Puisseguin Saint-Émilion. The vineyards are planted on south-facing slopes with limestone outcrops to achieve maximum sunlight. The excellent clay-limestone soil gives this Merlot-based Saint-Émilion wine its distinctive taste. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild acquired this property in 2003, aiming to achieve its finest potential.

      Tasting Notes:

• Deep, very clear, ruby-red color. Showing tremendous balance and freshness, the nose displays intense aromatic complexity with spicy nuances followed by hints of vanilla and red fruit (morello cherry). The wine reveals subtle, wellintegrated oak on the palate, along with exquisite elegance and great length with refined tannin. The black fruit flavours are remarkably fresh.
