Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots Dominique Laurent 1996

The wine

In keeping with the reputation of its appellation, this wine offers a powerful bouquet in which fruity notes rub shoulders with more complex notes of élevage. A little aeration will add power to its virile body. Make no mistake about it, this is a gourmet wine for pairing with dishes of a similar stature, such as duck breast.

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.
