Description
 
Dominique Laurent is a negoçiant-eleveur. He has only tiny vineyard holdings of his own and buys grapes or new wine from various growers, focussing only on old vines and low yields from almost every appellation on the Côte d'Or and occasionally from the Côte Chalonnaise. The word éleveur indicates that he 'raises' the wine. Initially he only bought young wine, taking delivery soon after vinification in the cellars of the growers with whom he is working. Now, in some cases, he buys the grapes and does the fermentation himself. What sets him apart from most other negoçiants is that he works very closely throughout the year with his growers, most, if not all, of whom are the most important names in Burgundy. He buys the wine, or part of the wine from specific plots of old vines. He involves himself in the viticulture, right through to the harvest and fermentation. He only buys when the fruit, or the young wine, meets his demanding standards. He applies his minimalist methods of élevage, which of course varies from wine to wine and vintage to vintage.
