Dominique Laurent Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes Grape Variety: Pinot Noir Flavor: Powerful and structured Alcohol: 13% Vineyard Dominique Laurent pioneered a new style of négociant in the late 1980s: a small operation, rigorous selection of cuvées, and complete collaboration with the winegrowers from whom he buys wines. Since 2006, Dominique and his son Jean have also established a small 10-hectare estate where they are both producers and winemakers. Winemaking The grapes are vinified as whole bunches, very slowly and without excessive extraction. There is no fining or filtration. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Tasting Notes The color is a deep ruby red. The unfiltered production allows it to retain considerable depth. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, and dark fruit are present, along with lovely spices and power. Serving suggestion Enjoy with grilled meats and traditional dishes such as beef Bourguignon. Serve at 15°C. |
