Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques Vieilles Vignes Dominique Laurent 2012

The wine

There is a seductiveness to the bouquet of this Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru. It offers not only fruity notes, but also other more complex, evolving notes of earth and game. This complexity enhances a dense, powerful, full-bodied substance. Over time, its tannic structure will become more refined and "velvety". Its great aromatic persistence suits it for a variety of gastronomic pairings.

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.
