Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel Air Dominique Laurent 1998

The wine

The product of a legendary Burgundy appellation, this wine has a deep, dark ruby appearance which, over time, tends towards garnet. Its nose is marked by red and black berry notes, and floral and élevage aromas (bread and toasted nuts). Its dense, generous substance is evidence that it should be left for at least three years before opening.

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.
