“Château Laulan reveals a beautiful dense color with garnet reflections, an aromatic intensity of
fresh red fruit supported by hints of violet. Beautiful fleshy tannins while
keeping the roundness of merlot and malbec. The charm of ripe fruit on the palate
gives the material a refined balance and length. "

« Château Laulan Quintessence dévoile une belle robe dense aux reflets pourpre,
une intensité aromatique de fruits noirs frais soutenus par des notes de vanille et de fumée.
Des tanins structurés soutenus par le caractère boisé. Le charme du fruit mûr du cassis et du chêne en bouche
donne au vin un grand équilibre et une grande longueur. »
