2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Champ, Domaine Duroché

Fifty-year-old vines here from the lighter soils of the commune of Brochon, which lies to the north of the village up towards Fixin. This is one of the vineyards where decent yields have been sporadic in recent years, but, as if to celebrate the nice volumes it has furnished Pierre with this time round, it has produced a truly delightful version of itself. The more delicate natural character of the wines from this vineyard have battled with the richness of the vintage and produced a wonderful hybrid of a wine with wonderful intensity and linear lift.
