Domaine Duroché
About Domaine Duroché
The wines by fourth-generation Gilles Duroché and his son Pierre, are utterly transporting. Unmistakably Pinot Noir and inescapably Gevrey-Chambertin, the wines give a dynamic sense of place and can be seen as a masterclass in the style of the appellation. With exacting standards applied across the entire range, from the humblest Bourgogne up to the Grands Crus, Duroché has made a name for itself as one of the premier growers in this fabled region.

Vinous (95)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. |

Wine Advocate (95)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. |

Vinous (93)There are just two barrels of the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru this year, partly due to the hail damage. It has a delightful bouquet with precise black and red fruit laced with sea cave-like aromas, gradually opening in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red cherry fruit, fine mineralité, quite tensile with plenty of energy emitting from the tensile finish. Excellent. |

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. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)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. Delicious though on the palate with fair intensity in a lifted cherry raspberry style with excellent persistence. Drink from 2025-2030. |
