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.
Les Chaumes (Vosne Romanée)
Les Chaumes is a Premier Cru classified climat of the Vosne-Romanée appellation, located south of the village, below Aux Malconsorts and above Clos des Réas. Sources specifically dedicated to the climat indicate an eastern exposure and an altitude of around 250 meters. The soils are described as moderately deep, fairly stony, and composed of marly-limestone materials. The specifications more generally describe the Vosne-Romanée sector as a gently sloping hillside, with soils resulting from the erosion of Jurassic limestones and, at the foot of the slope, Tertiary conglomerates.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Chaumes is among the climats of Vosne-Romanée officially granted the right to the "premier cru" designation. This collective recognition of the appellation's premiers crus dates back to 1943 and is based on the classification of Côte crus established in 1860. No older autonomous history specific to this climat was found in the institutional sources consulted.
