2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Duroché

2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Duroché

Cellar Circle Exclusive

Pierre has just 0.4 hectares in Charmes-Chambertin, which is divided into five separate parcels, two of which are on the border with Griotte-Chambertin, on more stony soils. The wine is always tightly coiled, with some noble austerity in its youth.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has an open and expressive bouquet with hints of redcurrant, strawberry fruit, black tea and pencil shavings. It's perhaps less complex than the previous vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, quite fleshy and rounded with supple tannins and a little lower in acidity than expected on the finish. This is a delectable offering that should age nicely in bottle.

(92—94)/100

The Durochés have two plots by Griotte-Chambertin, on very limestone soil, and two small alluvial plots in lower Charmes close to Mazoyères, all fermented together. Dense mid purple, there is more concentration here, plenty of charming fruit up front but with more backbone than sometimes. Fine balance between fruit, tannin and acidity, with a clean long finish where the fruit keeps growing. Some eggs in use as well as barrels here. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024.
