Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Dominique Laurent 2002

The wine

This grand cru is the epitome of finesse and delicacy! Dominique Laurent, known for his flourishing merchant business, decided in 2006 that he’d also like to take care of the maturation and bottling of certain cuvées.
The Charmes-Chambertin is somewhat legendary, the most extensive of Geverey-Chambertin’s 8 grands crus. This producer adds his own touch, conferring a nice balance. We recommend opening this bottle at around 15/16°C and serving it alongside a dish like duck or lamb in sauce.

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.
