2002 | Dominique Laurent | Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Intra Muros

Delicate and impressive depth on the nose. The finish is quite unique, rich and long lasting.

Producer Information

Dominique Laurent is a small-scale but high-quality négociant based in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The portfolio is based on very small parcels of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines in dozens of appellations across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Quantities of individual wines are often tiny, with some wines produced in a single barrique, realizing just 300 bottles. The first vintage was in 1988 and Laurent soon after earnt a reputation for using 200-percent new oak, a process which involves racking wine out of one new barrel for further aging in a second new barrel. Early labels read "Dom. Laurent"; a deliberately ambiguous ploy, given the owners first name and the fact that the operation was not a domaine, since no vineyards were owned. Now wines from bought grapes are labelled as Dominique Laurent, while Domaine Laurent Père et Fils wines are made from nine hectares (22 acres) of estate vines, including plots in Meursault Poruzots and Nuits-Saint-Georges. In 1994, Dominique Laurent joined forces with Michel Tardieu to create the Rhône Valley négociant business Tardieu-Laurent. This is now managed solely by the latter.
