Grands-Echezeaux Dominique Laurent 2012 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. Dominique Laurent uses a signature approach involving extended ageing in ‘magic casks’, which imparts a polished, velvety structure to the wine. The 2012 vintage produced a profile of great clarity and concentration, highlighting the mineral-driven character of the site. It offers notes of cherry, spice and wet stone, with a firm, refined tannic framework and a persistent, resonant finish that speaks to the power of the year.

Vinous
(from vines planted in 1926): Bright red-ruby. Very primary aromas of blackberry, mocha, coffee and cough medicine. Sweet on entry, then tight in the mouth, with a slightly herbal quality but terrific cut. A touch dry on the back end. Another barrel was more floral and more saline, likewise clenched today but with gentler tannins and excellent length. Laurent will put one of the three and a half barrels of this juice into his Echezeaux.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2014
