Dominique Laurent Marsannay Vieilles Vignes 2022: A Characterful Pinot Noir

The Dominique Laurent Marsannay Vieilles Vignes 2022 is a standout cuvée from Dominique Laurent, a skilled Burgundian winemaker and négociant. Known for his meticulous parcel selections and expertise in oak barrel ageing, he presents a wine crafted from old-vine Pinot Noir, sourced from the diverse terroirs of Marsannay, the northernmost appellation of the Côte de Nuits.

This 100% Pinot Noir, carefully aged, captures the depth and elegance of its terroir. The old vines contribute to its remarkable aromatic concentration and complexity.

Its deep ruby hue with violet reflections suggests intensity and finesse. The nose is expressive and refined, revealing ripe red and black fruit aromas, violet, and sweet spices, with a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, the attack is silky, supported by elegant tannins and refreshing acidity, ensuring balance and vibrancy. The long finish lingers with notes of cherry, liquorice, and forest floor.

This Marsannay Vieilles Vignes pairs beautifully with veal with chanterelle mushrooms, roast duck fillet, or a selection of aged cheeses, offering an exceptional tasting experience both now and after a few years of ageing.
