Domaine Duroché has become an overnight superstar in Gevrey-Chambertin, and is a true winemaking fairy tale. Only five years after taking the helm of his family Domaine, Pierre Duroché gained global recognition with exceptional his exceptional Pinots grown on a myriad of Gevrey-Chambertin’s best plots. These comprise well-located village holdings, powerful Premier Crus and blockbuster Grand Crus. Domaine Duroché’s wines are some of the purest expressions of Pinot Noir in the Burgundy region. This Bourgogne comes from the “Les Grands Champs” lieu-dit and aged for 11 months in oak barrel (10% new).
The 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from parcels in the east of the village in Grands Champs planted in 2002 and 2004, and was picked in the middle of the reds. It has an attractive nose with light waxy scents, almond and lime. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, fresh and lightly spiced with a very leesy finish. Lovely. Around 3,000 bottles produced. Neal Martin, Vinous. 100% Chardonnay.
