Duroche, Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru, 2022
Latricières-Chambertin is often called the most understated of Gevrey’s Grand Crus—cooler, more mineral, and deeply refined—and in the hands of Duroché, it becomes something truly riveting. The 2022 vintage brings a whisper of warmth, but the wine remains taut and chiseled, all about structure, aromatics, and quiet depth.
The nose is delicate and layered—wild raspberry, crushed rose, tea leaf, and cool stone—with the kind of detail that keeps unfolding over time. On the palate, it’s linear and focused, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, savory, mineral finish that lingers with grace. There’s none of the brawn of Chambertin or Clos de Bèze here—this is Burgundy for the purist.
Duroché works with minimal extraction, native yeasts, and limited new oak, making this one of the most transparent expressions of Grand Cru Gevrey you’ll find. It’s precise and contemplative, and while it can be appreciated young with air, it’s built for the long haul—15+ years if you’re patient.
Pair it with dishes that match its finesse: duck breast, mushroom risotto, or just a quiet evening and a Burgundy glass worthy of the pour.
