Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Grande Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Dominique Laurent 2009
The wine
Produced from nearly hundred-year-old vines, there is little doubt that this Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru richly deserves its vieilles vignes description! Dominique Laurent has produced a highly pure, remarkably elegant nectar. Its aromas of red and black berries reveal themselves with increasing complexity as the wine opens up. Notes of leather, tobacco and sweet spices gradually become evident. Its balance and generosity make it a good accompaniment for feathered game such as duck.
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.
