RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

..multifaceted, complex and impressive Pinot Noir...deep and full-bodied wine, followed by a velvety mouthfeel, with clean and pure red berry and blackberry notes and a citrusy undertow. Sweet tannins on the succulent finish.

93-95The Wine Advocate

Super-ripe red fruits, immersed in perfume, are found in this blockbuster's aromatics. It is a massive, extraordinarily deep, powerful, and medium to full-bodied wine. Highly detailed, elegant, precise, and pure, it regales the palate...

92-95Vinous / IWC

Extraordinarily perfumed aromas of smoke, game, humus, pepper and liqueur like black raspberry, all brightened by a mineral tang. Sappy, sharply delineated red fruit and mineral flavors display a freshness...

PRODUCER

Dominique Laurent

Dominique Laurent is a former pastry chef who started a small negociant business in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote d’Or, in the late 1980s. He produced his first vintages a few years later, and quickly developed a reputation for making very small quantities of excellent wine sourced from old vineyards. In 2006 Laurent made the leap from negociant to grower with the purchase of a few acres of vineyards. Today Domaine Laurent Pere et Fils owns 23 acres in Nuits-Saint-Georges. He is known for his extreme approach to “hands-off” winemaking, and for his habit of sometimes using “200% new oak,” meaning that one cuvee is sometimes transferred twice to new oak barrels. About 30,000 bottles are produced annually and his wines have earned cult status with some Burgundy collectors.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos-de-Beze

Chambertin Clos-de-Beze is a Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, and its history goes back to the 7th century when it was owned by the monks of the Abbey of Beze. After the French Revolution the Catholic Church was forced to divide the vineyard among peasants. Today it is a 38-acre vineyard, making it slightly larger than Chambertin. Chambertin and Chambertin Clos-de-Beze are adjacent and share similar limestone, clay and gravel soils. Of the 18 proprietors, the largest by acreage are Pierre Damoy, 13.4 acres; Armand Rousseau, 3.5 acres; and Drouhin-Laroze, 3.48 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
