2024 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St-Jacques, Domaine Duroché

2024 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St-Jacques, Domaine Duroché

Cellar Circle Exclusive

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

The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru was showing quite a lot of reduction on the nose. The palate is more expressive with fine tannins, gentle grip and good tension. It is not a Gevrey with substance or grip, much more airy in style with a prickle of spice towards the finish. It will just need a year or two in bottle.
