1. The Terroir and Heritage of Bordeaux
Each vintage of Chateau Aux Graves de la Laurence is a liquid testament to the world's most influential wine region. Located in the heart of Bordeaux (Saint-Loubès, in the Entre-deux-Mers area), this historic vineyard stands out for its privileged soil where river gravel, clay, and limestone provide exceptional drainage. This geological uniqueness is fundamental for the production of the most refined French wines under the rigorous Bordeaux Supérieur AOC appellation.
The Hebrard family's vision has preserved traditional know-how, subjecting the grapes to production standards significantly stricter than those of the generic Bordeaux appellation: lower yields per hectare, higher sugar concentration in the grape at harvest time, and prolonged aging in oak barrels to polish the tannins.

2. Collection Technical Sheet
Noble Blend
Predominance of Merlot, which provides roundness, intense ruby color and notes of ripe black fruits; harmonically complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to enrich the tannic structure, aging potential and spicy nuances.
Aging and Winemaking
Temperature-controlled fermentation in tanks and subsequent maturation in oak barrels. This process gently integrates the wood, respecting the freshness of the fruit and giving the wine hints of cedar, subtle vanilla, and cocoa.
3. Sensory Analysis and Pairing
The complexity of this red wine is revealed in finely balanced layers:
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it displays a vibrant medium-high intensity garnet red color. Aromatically, it unfolds a complex array of blackcurrants, dried plums, earthy notes, fine leather, and a subtle hint of licorice. On the palate, it stands out for a silky entry, well-polished mature tannins, and a long finish with a pleasant spicy aftertaste.
Serving Recommendation
It is suggested to serve at a temperature between 16 °C and 18 °C. A prior decanting time of 30 minutes enhances its aromatic expressiveness. It is the ideal partner for grilled cuts of meat (such as rib eye or puyazo), beef stews, duck, semi-cured cheeses, and Mexican gastronomy recipes such as chiles en nogada or dishes with mild mole.
