Château des Laurets Puisseguin Saint-Émilion 2016 | Magnum (1.5L) OWC
The Château des Laurets 2016 Magnum (presented in its own wooden case) is a magnificent expression of the Puisseguin Saint-Émilion appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank. Sourced from the prestigious Edmond de Rothschild heritage estate, the 2016 vintage is widely regarded as classic and age-worthy, making this 1.5 litre format a showstopper for collectors, hosts, or serious wine enthusiasts. A Magnum is the ultimate choice for a fine Bordeaux, as the larger volume and reduced oxygen exposure relative to the wine's mass allow for a slower, more graceful evolution in the bottle. This means the 2016 is only just beginning its prime drinking window and offers superb cellar potential for years to come. This wine showcases the elegance and power that Puisseguin Saint-Émilion is known for. Deep, intense ruby red in colour the nose is complex and evolving, offering rich notes of dark cherry, plum, and blackcurrant, underpinned by hints of tobacco leaf and cedar spice. The palate is powerful yet supple. The initial approach is structured, filled with concentrated dark fruit flavours. The tannins are fine-grained and velvety, providing an excellent framework. A lovely persistent finish reveals touches of cocoa and vanilla from its time in French oak.
