Presentation
Located in Monthelie, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Laurent Boussey perpetuates a viticultural know-how passed down for five generations. Laurent and Karen Boussey now manage this family estate, which spans 15 hectares and produces 24 appellations. The estate is renowned for its red and white wines, notably in Meursault, Pommard, and Beaune. Reasoned agriculture is a given: the soils are plowed, treatments are limited, and harvesting is done manually to keep only the best grapes. Vinification respects Burgundian traditions with long fermentations and aging in oak barrels, bringing depth and finesse to the wines. Each cuvée is meticulously assembled to express the full potential of its terroir. The originality of the estate lies in its exceptional heritage of old vines, with some parcels over 60 years old. This longevity gives the wines remarkable concentration and complexity, ensuring great aging potential.

Red vinification begins with a cold maceration (to extract a deep ruby color), followed by regular punch-downs from the onset of fermentation. This process ensures a broad structure and a fruity aromatic range typical of Pinot Noir. Maceration lasts between 12 and 18 days depending on the appellation.

Tasting
The robe is fairly dark, deep garnet. The nose reveals elegant aromas of fruit, toasted and roasted notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fleshy, velvety, long, and very harmonious. A robust, well-structured wine that benefits from a few years of ageing to fully express itself.
Food pairings
Best enjoyed with marinated game, spicy dishes, and well-aged cheeses.
