2023 Dominique Laurent Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes
From the heart of the Côte de Nuits, this wine is a superb expression of Vosne-Romanée, arguably the most prestigious and revered village in all of Burgundy. Known for producing wines of sublime elegance and aromatic complexity, Vosne-Romanée is the pinnacle of Pinot Noir. Dominique Laurent, acting as both grower and artisan for this cuvée, uses very old vines to capture the essence of this magical terroir. The wine offers a classic and seductive bouquet of fresh red fruits (wild strawberry, cherry), floral notes of rose and violet, and the village's signature hint of exotic spice. The palate is a study in balance, where a delicate, silky texture is supported by fine-grained tannins and a deep, savory minerality, leading to a long and persistent finish.
