Duroché owns a sizable 1.2 hectare parcel of this premier cru, and it is arguably the cuvée that best defines the estate. There’s a coolness here, with dancing tannins and incredible purity. Lavaut balances a freshness, due to its position at the base of the Combe, with an opulence of fruit from the vineyard’s south facing site, and this is a benchmark example.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a beguiling, tertiary, wet limestone tinged bouquet with precise red berry fruit and touches of bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite saline in the mouth, building towards a lightly spiced, tensile finish that lingers. Wonderful.
