Duroche, Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois, 2021
Pierre Duroche is one of Gevrey-Chambertin's rising stars, and in 2021 this bottling captures why the whole village watches him. Frost and mildew slashed yields across Burgundy that year, and here 'Les Jeunes Rois', the young kings, came down to just four barrels from vines planted in 1952. Concentration arrived naturally through millerandage, those tiny shot berries that pack in flavor. The result is classic, cool-vintage Burgundy: poised, fine-grained, and mineral, with more depth than a village wine has any right to. Hand-farmed with minimal oak, it lets the fruit speak in its purest voice.
