Tasting

Deep golden yellow colour. Nose with aromas of white fruit and Williams pear. Delicate and powerful on the palate, combined with a beautiful structure with notes of buttered toast and white fruit. The maturing process gives it an extra touch of complexity and a long, very indulgent finish. (Tasting December 2025)

Food & wine pairings

A delight to enjoy on its own, simply accompanied by a handful of nuts (almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts). With dishes, opt for monkfish in beurre blanc sauce, scrambled eggs with truffles, or a classic porcini mushroom risotto.

Detailed information

Vintage

In the Northern Rhône Valley, this 2023 vintage stands out for its remarkable balance, natural freshness and fine expression of terroirs. After a wet spring favourable to the vines, the summer was warm but not excessively so, with cool nights at the end of the season, ideal for preserving acidity and refining ripeness. As a result, the reds are showing great aromatic finesse, while the whites are revealing freshness combined with an elegant mineral structure. All in all, the 2023 vintage is proving to be a high-quality, charming vintage in the northern Rhône Valley.

Laurus

Laurus means ‘Laurel’ in Latin, a Roman symbol of excellence. Here excellence is all about “terroir”: the grapes are grown on parcels selected for their ability to express the very best of each Appellation.

The term “terroir” encompasses a soil, a climate and people. Here it is expressed through sustainable partnerships with wine-growers who share our vision. The perfect combination of grape variey & soil, the precise maturing process in unique 275l. French oak "Laurus" barrels refines the structure, producing complex wines, with plenty of character, beautiful elegance and a long ageing potential.
