Founded by a former pastry chef, Dominique Laurent is a boutique, high-quality négociant based in Nuits-Saint-Georges. From his very first vintage in 1988, Dominique has specialised in handcrafted Burgundy made from very old vineyards which are tended by local vignerons. This particular release comes from Clos Saint-Jacques, one of Gevrey-Chambertin`s most prestigious premier cru sites. 2008 was a challenging vintage at times but the wines turned out rich and fruit-forward, with vibrant acidity and silky tannins.

Vinous
(racked eight days before my visit) Good dark red. Captivating nose offers black cherry, licorice, violet, wild herbs and mocha. Higher pitched than the Lavaux, showing less inner-mouth purity today following the recent racking. A dry, classic, very long wine with a note of peppery stems on the back. Hard to taste today.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2010
