Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru Grande Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Dominique Laurent 2006

The wine

Famed for his ambitious élevage techniques, Dominique Laurent has produced a Latricières-Chambertin which clearly bears the maker's mark. Its aromatic complexity oscillates between notes of fruit, precious wood and smoky, spicy touches. It will require a certain period of laying down and a few minutes' aeration before it can fully express its full body, velvety profile and unbelievable persistence. A great wine: take time to stop and enjoy it.

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.
