Château Laurou sits in Fronsac, the historic clay-and-iron terroir of Libournais in Bordeaux. The winery works primarily with Negrette, a dark-skinned varietal native to southwest France, known for its spicy, peppery character and moderate tannin structure. Absolue Négrette Fronton, the flagship, expresses the grape's mineral and floral dimensions across the appellation's distinctive geology. Les Complices blends Negrette with Syrah, layering the former's delicate structure with the latter's darker fruit and savory depth. Délit d'Initiés returns to pure Negrette, emphasizing the varietal's aromatic precision.
