Exclusive Producer
Viña Laurent
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.
Region
Chilean Wine
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.
