About Winery
Dominique Laurent, once a pastry chef, transformed into one of Burgundy’s most respected négociants and winemakers, building his reputation on old-vine selections, meticulous élevage, and artisanal craftsmanship.
Dominique Laurent began his career as a pastry chef in Vesoul before turning to wine in the late 1980s, quickly establishing himself as an up-market négociant specializing in Burgundy’s finest appellations. His first vintage was in 1988, and he became known for sourcing grapes from very old vines across the Côte d’Or, producing wines in small quantities with a focus on natural winemaking and precise aging. In 2006, he founded Domaine Laurent Père et Fils with his son Jean, acquiring about 10 hectares of vineyards, including prestigious plots in Meursault Poruzots, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Echezeaux. Laurent’s philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, respect for terroir, and careful maturation, which has earned him recognition as one of Burgundy’s leading négociant-maturers. Today, his wines—ranging from regional Bourgogne bottlings to Grand Crus—are celebrated for their depth, authenticity, and artisanal character, reflecting his unique journey from pastry to viticulture.
