Aroma of cherries and raspberries with subtle earthy and oak notes. Light on the palate with more fruit and cedar accents. Smooth tannins create a fairly long finish.

The Les Lauriers Cuvée is made of a selection of our young parcels in Montagne Saint-Emilion. The 45 hectares vineyard is ideally situated on clay and limestone south facing slopes. This excellent terroir enables the Merlot (70% of the blend) to fully express itself and to give the wines its complexity, suppleness and roundness.

Les Lauriers 2018 has a deep garnet-red colour. Intense red fruit notes with a woodiness evoking cedar present from the beginning. After allowing the wine to breath, the fresh fruit flares into notes of red cherries, fresh spices and a fresh, slightly mentholated woodiness: extremely complex. This elegantly structured wine reveals aromas of red fruit underscored by a rather persistent but subtle woodiness, finishing on notes of liquorice.

This wine has an excellent ageing potential from 6 to 8 years. Advised serving temperature: 18°C.

Drink with grilled meat, and French cheese. It goes beautifully with poultry and other dishes.
