Chambolle-Musigny Dominique Laurent 1999

The wine

The specific character of the village of Chambolle-Musigny lies in its soil composed of limestone rock, gravel and pebbles. This gives the village its reputation for producing the finest wines of the Côte de Nuits. Dominique Laurent's Chambolle-Musigny is no exception to this rule. The bouquet is extremely rich and complex. There are morello cherry and rose aromas on the nose. The palate is very delicate, thanks to the extraordinarily refined tannins. A wine for drinking after 5-12 years' aging.

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.
