Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Grande cuvée Vieilles vignes Dominique Laurent 2001

The wine

Clos de Bèze Vieilles Vignes Chambertin is a very famous and prestigious wine. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of black berries, combined with fairly marked woody and animal notes. Rich and intense, the palate remains very elegant and well balanced, with very well-integrated tannins and a superbly long finish. This great wine is the perfect accompaniment for elaborate dishes, such as game bird.

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.
