Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint Jacques Duroché (Domaine) 2023

About the Producer Duroché

Domaine Duroché has been managed by the same family for five generations; they bottled their wines for the first time in 1933. Their vines now span 8 hectares in the Côte de Nuits' top appellations, including Gevrey-Chambertin premier and grand cru and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. For these producers, having top quality grapes is expedient to making good wine. To grow healthy grapes, soils are tilled and grass is allowed to grow between rows; synthetic products are not used. The same philosophy presides in the winery. Extractions are moderate, the élevage lasts between 13 and 15 months and the wines are bottled without filtration. We particularly enjoy these wines for their fruit-driven character, whether drank young or after some cellaring.
