2023 Dominique Laurent Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes
From the legendary "haute-couture" artisan Dominique Laurent, this wine is a quintessential expression of Chambolle-Musigny's grace and elegance, amplified by the depth of very old vines. Laurent, a former pastry chef, is renowned for his meticulous selection of old-vine parcels and his mastery of oak aging, even owning his own cooperage. The 2023 vintage is cool and mineral-driven, offering a complex and exuberant nose of black fruits, violets, lilac, and sandalwood. The palate is delicately floral with very lively fruit and a seductive texture, all underpinned by a wonderful tension and a firm, robust finish. It is a wine that captures both the finesse of its village and the rich, textural signature of its maker.
