Detailed information
Vintage
The hot dry spring heralded an early harvest. But a contrasted summer (July was cool and wet, August hot and dry) followed by a fine Indian summer proved ideal for grape ripeness. Harvests began on the 14th September.

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.
