Very bold with ripe, dark plums and dark berries. A really concentrated wine with an inky color. The palate boasts smooth, ripe dark-berry flavors and suave, plush tannins. Right at the limit of ripeness. Drink or hold.

The 2015 Les Laurets Baron is deep garnet-purple colored with chocolate-covered cherries, red and black plums and tilled soil notions with touches of menthol, lavender and cloves. Medium to full-bodied and firmly textured with ripe, grainy tannins and sporting impressively concentrated red and black fruits, it finishes with great persistence.

Under the same ownership as the Rothschild property Château Clarke in Moulis, this estate predominately grows Merlot. This wine comes from a selected parcel that gives rich, intense and concentrated fruitiness and dense tannins. It shows a lightly burnt character from the wood aging but the blackberry fruits are dominant and ripe. Drink from 2021.
