Beaune 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes Dominique Laurent 1998

The wine

Produced from some of the appellation's vieilles vignes parcels, this wine reveals fruity, slightly woody notes. It is equally good whether drunk today or after a few years' keeping, and will be a wonderful match for white meat and seasonal vegetables.

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.
