The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a blend of a parcel from the north of the village of Gevrey, a parcel in Aux Etelois that is not selected for that cuvée, and fruit from Pressonnnier. It felt open on the nose with raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is nicely balanced, bright and pretty in the mouth with a keen line of acidity, then battening down the hatches toward the tightly coiled finish that will open by the time of bottling. There is good potential here, but it will require a couple of years in bottle.Inc. VAT£985.00 -

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a slightly rustic, ferrous bouquet that needs to knit together during the remainder of its élevage. The palate conveys satisfying sapidity and steely tannins. The taut, brisk, stony finish disguises the warmth of the growing season. Superb winemaking on display here. This is Pierre Duroché’s largest cuvée at 57 barrels.Inc. VAT£107.99 -

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, from the domaine, is completely destemmed and matured in 15% new oak. It displays a little more precision than its counterpart under the négociant label, ripe and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, a fleshy mouthfeel and a touch of piquancy on the finish. This should drink well for 5–7 years, possibly longer.Inc. VAT£96.80 -

This year the straight Gevrey-Chambertin includes Le Clos, Champ, En Vosne and 1er cru Champeaux. A fresh even ruby purple. The bouquet is a little more reserved than for the Bourgogne Rouge, but with a suggestion of greater depth. Now some fresh but sweet cherries start to come out. Very balanced and though accessible at first, the back of the palate delivers additional intensity which will take longer to emerge. A good balance with the tannins, and fine persistence. Just the right acidity. Drink from 2025-2030.Inc. VAT£1,340.30 -

A substantial cuvée from multiple plots. Fresh bright purple. Concentrated raspberry and bilberry, good acidity, no more than medium bodied but still with energy, redcurrant and raspberry jam behind. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted: November 2023.Inc. VAT£679.09 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-91)
10 plots representing three of their 8.5ha. Deep purple with a lighter rim. A darker, denser fruit, less explosive than the Bourgogne. A few blackcurrants and bilberries, not quite squeezed till the pips squeak but you can see how this will become tighter later on. Two-thirds made in barrel, one third in eggs. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc. VAT£444.80 -

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Champ clearly has more fruit intensity than the regular village cuvée. It contains finely delineated raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed stone aromas.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois is one of the stars of Duroché's range of Gevrey lieux-dits, wafting from the glass with beautiful aromas of cassis, wild berries, coniferous forest floor and sweet soil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a deep core of succulent fruit, fine tannins, and a sapid, pure finish.Inc. VAT£157.73 -
Wine Advocate (90-92)
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois was more reticent on the nose than Pierre Duroché's other nascent 2016s; however, there is fine complexity and mineralité already locked into this cuvée. Later there is a hint of licorice that adds another layer of complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and sports a caressing texture and a taut line of acidity. There is a spicy vein to this Gevrey-Chambertin, and after departing, the tongue is still fizzing with prenatal energy. I look forward to revisiting this after bottling, because this is a serious village cru.Inc. VAT£180.12 -

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois, completely destemmed, has a pretty bouquet of pure red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, all very seductive and winsome. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a slightly chalky texture, especially toward the finish, which displays more tension and terroir expression than the Le Clos.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois has a little more reduction on the nose that made it a bit more difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a pinch of black pepper and a slight graphite note towards the persistent finish. This has real pedigree.Inc. VAT£190.79 -

4 barrels were made from three quarters of a hectare, equating to 12 hl/ha. Another fine ruby colour. The nose is more flamboyant than for the straight Gevrey, red fruit with a floral edge.

Bottled mid-December, the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois, from vines planted in 1953, is 100% de-stemmed using a pied de cuve at the start of fermentation. The nose has kicked in nicely since I tasted it from barrel. Plump red cherries and blackcurrant scents seem to have developed a little more va-va-voom. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, very pure and silky in style, just a touch of sour cherry imparting tension. With fine persistence towards the finish, this is a delightful "young king."Inc. VAT£684.80 -

The 2014 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is armed with darker fruit than other vintages, fine presence, quite tertiary in style with subtle incense aromas. Sensual. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy and smooth entry, sweeter than anticipated though side by side the previous vintage boasts more complexity, especially on the finish that here is quite pastille-like.

This wine features a lovely bright raspberry fruit aroma with a bit of menthol and a suggestion of peony. The tannins are substantial, and there is plenty of acidity to draw the wine to a lovely conclusion. The grapes come from 60 – 65 year old vines in the lower part of Grèves where the soils are a bit deeper. The wine shows a true Grèves character in its restraint, elegance, and balance.Inc.

Six barrels, two from Petit Musigni and four from Les 10 Journaux which is in whole bunch vinification. Two new barrels. A deepish crimson purple. The stems give an exciting lift to the wine to escape from the more muscular side. Significantly rich raspberry and cherry fruit with an excellent suavity of texture.
