Château des Laurets 2016, A.C Puisseguin St Emilion, France
£28.00 – £151.20
Château des Laurets and its adjoining land covers two appellations; Puisseguin and Montagne. Two wines are produced at the estate, both of which are Merlot rich offering a fleshy style very similar to that of A.C St Emilion. This wine spends 14 months in French oak and once mature provides great value for money.
Tasting notes
Chocolate shavings, tobacco, violets, red cherry and spicy plum on the nose. There’s a whiff of vanilla and a trace of new oak with mocha and spice, although this is more about the concentration of ripe fruit and a rich approachable style. The 2016 vintage of Chateau Les Laurets feels complete, balancing freshness, precision and depth.
