Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles vignes Dominique Laurent 1999

The wine

This Gevrey-Chambertin is produced from the oldest vines in the village, planted between 1900 and 1930. The nose reveals blackcurrant aromas, mixed with subtle élevage notes (smoke, coffee). The tannins are beautifully ripe.

About the Producer Dominique Laurent

Having acquired a real reputation with the wines from his trade, since 2006, with the help of his son, Dominique Laurent has also created a small producer-farming establishment from vineyards leased to a winemaker of Vosne-Romanée. He does not deal with vinification but élevage and bottling. Nevertheless, he supervises vinification. The father and son like to work grape musts that have not been destemmed and to mature their wines without sulphur. They use new barrels, the signature of the maison. Dominique Laurent's entire range of wines is characterised by a high degree of purity and to be accessible to all ages. This recipe has proved its worth to fans all over the world.
