2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St Jacques, Domaine Duroché

2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St Jacques, Domaine Duroché

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 aspect.

Tasting notes

Bright purple. This is beautifully elegant, a lovely balance once again. Instead of being plump up at the front, this is all about the intensity at the back. More in strawberry fruit, with medium plus density at the back, but excellent persistence. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023.

94—96/100

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a pretty nose with wonderfully transparent wild strawberry and raspberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit. There’s fine backbone here, taut, growing a tad spicy towards the finish. It needs a little more grip and depth (like the Etelois).
