About Dominique Laurent Vosne-Romanée Burgundy
Produced by Domaine Dominique Laurent in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, this wine exemplifies the finesse and depth of Vosne-Romanée’s terroir. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown on prime parcels, it reflects a perfect blend of tradition and precision.
Vineyard & Terroir
The vineyards lie on east-facing slopes with limestone-rich soils that impart vibrant acidity and minerality. Low-yielding vines are meticulously plowed and cropped by hand, ensuring optimal fruit concentration and balance.
Winemaking
Each harvest is sorted manually at the cellar to select only the healthiest clusters. Fermentation occurs in traditional open-top vats with native yeasts, followed by gentle extraction and malolactic conversion. Aging spans 14–18 months in French oak barrels (20% new) to integrate wood and preserve fresh fruit character.
Tasting Notes
The wine opens with bright red fruit aromas—cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry—underscored by subtle notes of violet, clove, and forest floor. On the palate, fine-grained tannins and a lively acidity provide structure, while mineral undertones and a long, elegant finish complete the experience.
Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions
Serve at 16–18°C alongside rich dishes such as roasted duck, venison, or mushroom risotto. It also pairs beautifully with soft cheeses like Époisses or aged Comté.
Aging Potential
With proper cellaring, this Vosne-Romanée will evolve gracefully for 10–15 years, developing complex tertiary aromas of leather, truffle, and sous-bois.
