2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 'Aux Etelois', Domaine Duroché

2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 'Aux Etelois', Domaine Duroché

This is arguably the best placed village parcel in the whole of Gevrey, sandwiched between Griotte and Charmes-Chambertin. However, it is made in minute volumes: just one barrel in 2020. It’s juicy and fine-boned, with such vibrant acidity, silky tannins and a sense of purity. There’s a hint of the cherry fruit you might expect from this corner of Gevrey, and a finish that is impressively long. So much more than a simple village wine.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois has a slightly steaminess on the nose from the 15% whole bunch, which lends it freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite fleshy and ripe with fine acidity, harmonious and velvety smooth towards the finish. Clever winemaking here. Subtle, but memorable.
