The vineyard of Château des Laurets is spread over 90 hectares on two famous neighboring wine Appellations: Montagne Saint-Emilion and Puisseguin Saint-Emilion. Within this area, the 40 hectares located on Puisseguin are dedicated to the production of “Château des Laurets”. Entering the estate on the north side, opposite the garden, offers a beautiful view of the castle built around 1860, whose architectural feature is the existence of a central octagonal tower overlooking the rear.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild acquired this superb property in 2003, aiming to develop the Estate’s great potential. A large renovation of the cellar was undertaken in the spring of 2004 to offer modern and efficient facilities.

The vineyards of Chateau des Laurets are planted on south-facing slopes with big rocks of limestone. This excellent clay and limestone soil gives the Saint-Emilion Merlot its distinctive taste. Particular attention is given to vineyard management in order to achieve low yields and quality grapes at optimum ripeness.

The wine’s color is deep and ruby-red. 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, well-integrated oak on the palate, along with exquisite elegance and great length with refined tannin. The black fruit flavours are remarkably fresh.
