Founded in 1815, their wines are characterised by power, charm and elegance. Their tawny or ‘wood Ports’ – so called as the wines are aged in barrels for up to 40 years – are unbeatable. For some Port producers, tawny Ports are a convenient method of using up grapes that they can’t use for finer vintage wines. Fonseca though specially selects grapes that have the character to stand up to the extended ageing period. Conscious of the precious environment in which they produce their wines, Fonseca has invested heavily in sustainable winemaking. It was the first lodge to offer a wholly organic Port and respect for the planet influences all their activities. This has been made easier by the bulk of their fruit coming from their own perfectly placed vineyards.

It was in this Grand Cru village, located at the crossroads of the three main vineyards, on plots of land known as Les Plaisances and La Tour Glorieux, that he founded what was to become Maison Laurent‑Perrier. He was succeeded by his son Alphonse Pierlot. As Alphonse Pierlot had no descendants, he passed the company on to his cellar master Eugène Laurent. Eugène Laurent died prematurely in 1887, and his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, took over the reins of the company, adding her surname to that of Eugène Laurent to give the House the name Veuve Laurent‑Perrier. In 1889, she launched her \"Grand Vin Sans Sucre\", more to her taste and that of her British customers.

The palate is medium-bodied and finely structured, with silky tannins and well-judged oak supporting the ripe, juicy fruit. There’s freshness, lift, and a subtle graphite note on the long, elegant finish. A polished and poised Margaux with real drinking appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 Points - Bettane et Desseauve (2020 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Margaux finesse with, at this stage, a slight firmness in the tannin that will soften with three to five years of ageing.
