Baron Edmond de Rothschild Château des Laurets Puisseguin Saint-Émilion 2017 750ml

The vines of Château des Laurets are spread over two neighbouring appellations: Montagne-Saint-Émilion and Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion. The vineyards are planted on south-facing slopes with limestone outcrops. The excellent clay-limestone soil gives this Merlot-based Saint-Émilion wine its distinctive taste. The 2017, bottled in July 2019, has a rather intense ruby red colour. The first impression on the nose offers a subtle blend of black fruit aromas with a dominant of blackcurrant. The mouth reveals a frank and assumed structure directed all in length, no excessive opulence in this vintage all in 'lace'. The aromas of fresh and crisp fruit give the wine a juicy side, all well chiselled by an already well-integrated woodiness. As is often the case at Château des Laurets, the small, spicy notes on the finish perfectly enhance the lovely tension of the overall.

Already a lot of immediate pleasure, with potential for at least 8-10 years.
