Estate and Heritage
Château des Laurets, under the proud ownership of the Rothschild family, is a beacon of quality and tradition in Bordeaux winemaking. Acquired by Benjamin de Rothschild in 2003, this estate continues to uphold the family’s esteemed winemaking pedigree, akin to their more famous Château Lafite Rothschild.
Situated between Puisseguin Saint-Émilion and Montagne Saint-Émilion appellations, Château des Laurets benefits from the prime location on the right bank of the Dordogne River. This region is renowned for its distinctive Merlot-dominant blends that offer depth, elegance, and an impressive aging potential.
Vineyards and Appellation Characteristics
The vineyard spans across the Puisseguin Saint-Émilion AOC, one of the satellite appellations renowned for producing robust yet refined wines. The clay-limestone soils here are particularly favorable for Merlot, contributing to the wine’s full-bodied texture and nuanced flavor profile. Complemented by the temperate oceanic climate, the grapes are allowed to reach full maturity, ensuring a rich and balanced final product.
Wine Profile and Tasting Notes
This wine is predominantly composed of Merlot, augmented by Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, crafting a blend that is classically Bordeaux. Its bouquet is rich with ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, accented by sweet spices and floral tones. Oak aging imparts subtle notes of vanilla and enhances the wine’s structure, making it suitable for aging.
On the palate, it offers a luscious, pulpy texture with finely coated tannins that provide structure without excess weight. The finish is long and aromatic, revealing a symphony of flavors that persist gracefully.
Perfect Pairings
