Chateau des Laurets is a wine estate in Bordeaux .

History [ edit ]

Purchased by Benjamin and Ariane de Rothschild in 2003, ^[1] the estate stretch on 86 hectares with two appellations: Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion and Montagne-Saint-Emilion .

Soil [ edit ]

The vineyard is based on south-way slopes that sometimes show clay-limestone hilltops.

Wine [ edit ]

Benjamin de Rothschild and Ariane de Rothschild would like the Laurets estate to be a reference in the Puisseguin and Montagne Saint Emilion region, thanks to the Chateau Clarke experience, and the advice of the famous oenologist Michel Rolland .

The wine is made from older grapevines and composed almost exclusively of Merlot (92%), with 8% of Cabernet Franc , and is aged in barrels during 15?18 months.
