Description & Press Reviews:
This comes from a 70 hectare estate which has been owned by the same family for many generations and is situated right in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region. The estate has a reputation for "Tradition and Quality" and this superb offering is no exception. 16 of the 70 hectares of the estate, which is predominantly limestone based, is used to produce refreshing exceptional wine.
Golden in colour this truly is a beautifully presented wine with loads of fruity aromas and intense fruit and honey in the mouth. It is full of elegance and will be thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by white wine lovers.
Because of its structure this wine will lend itself to a wide range of foods from Salads and Fish through to any White Meat. Very enjoyable on its own but will enhance the appreciation of many meals through its elegance and quality.
Clive Platman, The Birmingham Post, Food & Drink
A white-only AOC that can deliver a class, crisp and purely herbaceous style, with great concentration of flavour. This ticks the box.
Ned Halley, The Western Daily Press, Today's Tipple
The dry white wines of Bordeaux are much-loved by the French, but largely overshadowed by New World competition here. Nick has some fine examples, such as Chateau Laures 2006 (£6.75), made from the region's traditional blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon grapes, richly coloured with a floral perfume and fresh, slaking fruit. This is a fine, delicate wine to drink either as an aperitif or with grilled fish.
Andrew Barrow, Spittoon
The Semillon really comes though on the nose giving a lovely herby touch to the lemon-citrus that dominates. Palate is nicely rich and full with a slight spritz and good acidity balancing it all out. A honeyed touch to the lemony complexity all melds together wonderfully.
Charlotte Lessing, The Lady
A surprise delivery of Bordeaux winesfrom an online wine shop . . . for those who appreciate quality wines but can never seem to find a reliable source . . . avoids the rather sweet start
Testimonials from customers:
"I was also pleasantly surprised by the Chateau Laures I tried recently. Not a style of wine I have drunk a lot of in recent years. But its got enough about it to stand up to some rich shellfish dishes and I agree it is lovely on its own too. Very good at the price."
