2024 Vina Laurent Corrupto Valle de Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2024 Viña Laurent Corrupto Valle de Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, modern Cabernet rooted in one of Chile’s most historic red-wine regions. Produced by Viña Laurent, this wine draws on Maipo Valley’s classic conditions—warm days, cool Andean nights, and alluvial soils—to achieve ripe fruit, firm structure, and balance. The “Corrupto” label signals a slightly rebellious take on tradition, favoring intensity and character while remaining varietally true. Winemaking focuses on clean fermentation and restrained oak to frame the fruit rather than dominate it. The result is a Cabernet that is expressive, confident, and immediately appealing. It’s a textbook Maipo Cabernet with a contemporary edge.

Nose
Concentrated aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, layered with notes of eucalyptus, graphite, and subtle baking spice.

Palate
Medium to full-bodied, offering dark fruit flavors of cassis and black cherry supported by firm, well-knit tannins. Savory herbal tones and hints of cocoa and cedar add depth through the mid-palate.

Finish
Dry and persistent, finishing with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice, and a structured, savory edge characteristic of Valle de Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon.

Grilled beef or steak – The wine’s tannic backbone and dark fruit complement char and richness beautifully.

Herb-roasted lamb – Echoes the wine’s herbal and savory notes.

Barbecue or smoked meats – Cassis fruit and structure stand up well to smoke and spice.

Aged cheeses – Manchego, aged cheddar, or hard alpine cheeses balance the wine’s firmness and depth.
