Rich and structured Carménère, with aromas of black cherries and hints of leather notes that bring up the typicity of the grape expression in the heart of Maipo Valley. The wine is made by small artisan producer Viña Laurent, an independent boutique winery dedicated to the production of premium Chilean wines.
"A quintessential expression of Carménère, from the heart ofthe Maipo Valley. Youthful, with bright aromas and flavours of black cherries and plum, as well as leathery hints. Rich, structured and satisfying, lifted by refreshing acidity.

Damien Laurent grew up among vineyards and used to help his grandfather to fill up wine barrels. After managing Chateau L'Escart in Bordeaux for 12 years, together with his Chilean wife Lorena, he looked for a ‘terroir’ where they could bring their passion to life by making their own wines. Attracted by the beautiful landscape of the Maipo Valley, they discovered its incredible potential, planting their first vineyard in 2008.
The quality and availability of Chilean wines have flourished in the last twenty years. While wine consumers worldwide enjoy the easy-drinking charm of Chile’s inexpensive fruity wines, Chile’s wine producers have higher aspirations too, to make stylish, complex wines expressive of their unique origins, wines with a tangible ‘sense of place’, a notion the Europeans call terroir.
