Duroche, Gevrey-Chambertin Champ lieu-dit, 2023

Domaine Duroché's Champ represents the refined, mineral-driven philosophy of Pierre Duroché, a fifth-generation vintner farming 8.5 hectares in Gevrey-Chambertin. This lieu-dit comes from two northern parcels of 40-45 year old vines, delivering textbook Côte de Nuits silhouette with exceptional freshness and salinity. The 2023 shows finely delineated raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed stone aromas, leading to a medium-bodied palate with lace-like tannins and an airy, lengthy finish. A minerally, elegant expression that rewards careful cellaring.
