Domaine Dominique Laurent
Dominique Laurent is a Burgundian négociant-winemaker based in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, renowned for an extensive range of Premiers and Grands Crus, notably Bonnes-Mares, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and several climats in Chambolle-Musigny. His activity is based primarily on the négociant business, complemented by a small estate-owned vineyard, with particular attention paid to vinification and barrel aging.

Histoire du domaine
A former pastry chef in Vesoul, Dominique Laurent turned to wine in the late 1980s and developed a négociant house specializing in small quantities of wines from renowned terroirs of the Côte d’Or. The company DOM. LAURENT, founded on May 16, 1989 and still active in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, is headed by Dominique Laurent. The house became particularly distinguished for its aging methods and the use of barrels from its own cooperage activity. A recent professional source attributes 5 hectares to him in addition to his négociant business, but this surface area should not be confused with that of Domaine Laurent Père et Fils: this distinct winegrowing structure was created in 2006 by Dominique Laurent and his son Jean, who is now the owner and manager of this family estate. The Bonnes-Mares, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and Chambolle-Musigny cuvées mentioned belong to the broad historical range of the Dominique Laurent négociant house.

Histoire de la parcelle
The vineyard is presented as a foundation of the Abbey of Cîteaux dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, much like neighboring Échezeaux and Clos de Vougeot. The Grand Cru appellation d'origine contrôlée was established on July 31, 1937.
