Vintage Character The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Champeaux' Premier Cru from Dominique Laurent is a compelling showcase of Burgundy’s esteemed Pinot Noir, hailing from the northern sector of Gevrey-Chambertin’s renowned 'Les Champeaux' vineyard. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a warm, dry summer tempered by timely rainfall, producing wines celebrated for their concentration, purity, and vibrant fruit expression.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91–93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Premier Cru reveals an enticing bouquet of wild cherry, black raspberry, and violet, complemented by subtle hints of forest floor and a touch of Asian spice. The palate is both silky and structured, offering layers of ripe red fruit, crushed herbs, and mineral undertones that speak to the vineyard’s limestone-rich soils. Fine-grained tannins and lively acidity lead to a persistent, elegant finish with a gentle whisper of toasted oak. This refined Gevrey-Chambertin pairs beautifully with duck breast in cherry sauce, roasted lamb with Provençal herbs, or French Comté cheese, making it a versatile choice for a range of culinary experiences.
Winery Background Dominique Laurent, once a pastry chef and now a highly regarded négociant and micro-vigneron, is acclaimed for his dedication to Burgundy’s diverse terroirs. Since establishing his house in the late 1980s, Laurent has become known for his minimal intervention approach, sourcing old-vine Pinot Noir from select climats throughout the region. In the cellar, he practices gentle extraction and favors extended maturation in custom-made barrels, often incorporating a notable proportion of new oak crafted from top-quality French forests. This commitment to careful fruit selection, respect for vineyard origins, and patient élevage results in wines that are both expressive of their site and elegantly textured, earning Dominique Laurent a loyal following among Burgundy connoisseurs.
