Dominique Laurent Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches 1996

The intense and affable ex-pastry chef, Dominique Laurent, has been indulging his passion to produce the finest quality Burgundies since he first burst upon the scene with the 1993 vintage. Each year he arranges to purchase many tiny lots of grapes from a wide range of growers with ancient vines. He handcrafts his wines using his so-called "Magic Barrels" in several small cellars in Nuits St. Georges.
