Product details
Chateau des Laurets Baron is a carefully crafted wine that reflects the estate's dedication to quality. Acquired by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild in 2003, the vineyard focuses on producing a limited vintage from the finest Merlot plots, emphasizing the unique character of this Saint-Emilion estate. This niche wine is produced only in the best years, showcasing the excellence of Merlot from this region.
The 2016 Les Laurets Baron is a striking example of this dedication. With a medium to deep garnet-purple hue, it opens with an array of spicy aromas, including cloves, fenugreek, cinnamon, and black pepper, all layered over notes of black cherries, warm plums, and a hint of spearmint. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, offering rich, spice-laden plum flavors, a plush texture, and a minty finish, making it a standout vintage from the Chateau des Laurets Baron.
