Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots Vieilles Vignes Dominique Laurent 1997

The wine

This Vosne-Romanée comes from a plot located between Les Richebourgs and Les Beaux Monts, alongside the Romanée Saint-Vivant AOC. The nose displays marvellous complexity, plenty of fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant) and good maturity. On the palate, refinement has the upper hand, with very delicate tannins, elegance and great length.

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.
