Domaine Laurent is managed by Dominique Laurent, a former pâtissier who now produces exceptional, small-batch wines from his small négociant company in Nuits-St-Georges. His first vintage was 1988 and he very quickly became celebrated for his crafted, expensive red Burgundies. Taking inspirattion from a traditional vigneron in Beaune and the oenologist Guy Accad (controversial at the time), he developed his own unique way of making fine wine. Dominique sources his fruit from very old parcels and his range comprises of many different appellations from across the Cote d'Or – often in tiny quantities as little as 25 to 50 cases of each wine. 'Laurent's skill in seeeking out fabulous examples of each appellation has certainly been the engine that has driven Laurent's top quality train,' writes Jasper Morris MW.
