Château Laride sits in Haut-Médoc, the heart of Bordeaux's Left Bank, where gravelly soils and a maritime climate shape wines of structure and depth. The estate works with the classic Médoc palette: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and supporting varieties like Petit Verdot and Malbec. L'Iris Laride, the flagship, blends Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot into a wine that reflects the region's signature balance of power and refinement. The standard Haut-Médoc bottling, built on Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot, offers a more direct expression of terroir. Wine Enthusiast has rated both releases, recognizing their place within Haut-Médoc's tradition of serious, age-worthy reds.
