Château des Laurets originally comprised a vast 40-hectare vineyard. The estate was enlarged in 1842 with the acquisition of the land surrounding the ruins of Château de Malengin, located high up in the Barbanne Valley. In 1860, the owners of the time built a beautiful Napoleon III-style building, giving the estate a special charm.
Today, the estate covers 90 hectares of south-facing land in a single block, straddling two appellations: Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion and Montagne-Saint-Emilion. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild bought the estate in 2003. In 2004, he renovated the vat room and all the facilities.
