Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux Dominique Laurent 2020

La «cuvée»

Discover Domaine Dominique Laurent's Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Les Champeaux. The site lies to the south of the village, between the climats of Mazis-Chambertin and Rachecourt-Chambertin. This is one of the oldest parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin, where stone walls dating back to another era still stand. The soils are shallow, reaching a depth of just 20 to 30 centimetres, and are distinguished by their reddish colour. Dominique Laurent tends his vines according to organic viticulture practices, with the utmost respect for the environment.
In the winery, whole-cluster vinification is favoured, while sulphur use is kept to a minimum. The wine is then aged for many months in oak barrels.
In the glass, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Les Champeaux displays a deep purple hue, exuding with aromas of cherry, strawberry, blueberry and redcurrant. The palate opens with a silky attack, supported by well-integrated tannins leading to a long finish.

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.
