The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin Aux Etelois (from a triangle of vines nestled between Griotte-Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin but classified as merely Gevrey-Chambertin AOC) bursts with notes of Griotte cherry, strawberry, wood smoke and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with more tension and chalky grip than the Les Jeunes Rois, despite its velvety attack, and a deep core of crunchy fruit.Inc. VAT£1,557.20 -

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has certainly stepped up in intensity since I last tasted it. Redcurrant, cranberry, juniper berries and just a touch of mint, fine delineation with fine focus. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, perfectly judged acidity, a touch of allspice and white pepper, fanning out gloriously on the expansive finish. Time to raise my previous score. Tasted at Domaine Duroché.Inc. VAT£2,480.66 -

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques Vieilles Vignes is once again one of the highlights of the range, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of wild berries, plums and sweet soil tones, complemented by top notes of spices, rose petals and bergamot. Medium to full-bodied, multidimensional and muscular, it's textural and concentrated, with lively acids, beautifully refined tannins and a long, resonant finish.Inc. VAT£237.72 -

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a beguiling, tertiary, wet limestone tinged bouquet with precise red berry fruit and touches of bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite saline in the mouth, building towards a lightly spiced, tensile finish that lingers. Wonderful.Inc. VAT£719.96 -
(1x150cl) 2021Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
A fine even crimson colour. A little more muscle on the nose, moving away from the floral notes. Good acidity, a little mineral tension, not massive at all but fine, with some subtlety to the fruit on the palate. Alpine strawberries here. Drink from 2026-2031.Inc. VAT£719.45 -

Duroché has two cuvées of Lavaut; Pierre takes enough of the oldest vines (planted in 1923) to cull out a single barrel for a 'Vieilles Vignes' cuvée. If you can't find that, this wine will do nicely with its dark blackberry fruit and floral notes, silky texture, refreshingly crisp freshness, and tannic grip. This delicious wine should show well shortly after release but can undoubtedly be cellared for a decade or more if you can avoid drinking it now.Inc. VAT£2,603.09 -
(3x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
Lavaut-St-Jacques was not the last to be picked for once, to avoid flétri (wrinkled skins) which was threatening, and it certainly comes across as quite ripe. Mid purple. The bouquet takes a little searching out, then sensual red and black fruit across the palate. Not ultra concentrated but quite fine. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc. VAT£766.37 -

The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin Village has a more controlled, less feisty and better behaved bouquet than the Bourgogne Rouge. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity that cuts through the dark cherry and cassis fruit. There is plenty of sucrosity here, but that does not seem to take the edge of the finish that demonstrates good persistence. Even though this is just a village cru I recommend giving this 2-3 years in bottle.Inc. VAT£128.00 -
Wine Advocate (88-90)
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£681.49 -
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.

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 palate is medium-bodied, taut and focused with lace-like tannins, plenty of salinity and an airy yet lengthy finish. This is one of Duroché's best entry-level cuvées.Inc. VAT£531.49 -

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. Very fine.Inc. VAT£251.05 -

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

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
