Domaine Duroché - Bourgogne Côte d'Or Rouge 2023
Domaine Duroché is one of the most discreet and respected references in Gevrey-Chambertin, known for the purity of its style and the precision of its work. An emblematic family estate of the Côte de Nuits, it cultivates a demanding approach based on respect for the terroirs, controlled yields, and rigorous organic viticulture. The estate's wines stand out for their natural finesse, balance, and ability to accurately convey the identity of each appellation. At Duroché, the pursuit is never for showmanship, but for clarity and elegance. This philosophy is found both in the village cuvées and in the more modest appellations.
The 2023 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Rouge from Domaine Duroché comes from parcels located on the Côte de Nuits, benefiting from the same care as the Gevrey-Chambertin vines. The 2023 vintage offers harmonious ripeness, ideal for expressing a Pinot Noir that is both precise and approachable. The vinification favors gentle extractions to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins. The aging is conducted with restraint, in a spirit of support rather than imprinting, to allow the wine to freely express its origin. This cuvée embodies a very high-quality interpretation of the Bourgogne Côte d’Or appellation, faithful to the estate’s refined and pure style.
On tasting, this 2023 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Rouge is immediately charming with its freshness and balance. The nose reveals aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant, enhanced by a delicate floral touch. The palate is supple, elegant, and perfectly structured, supported by fine tannins that bring beautiful harmony without rigidity. The fruit expresses itself precisely, supported by a natural freshness that makes the wine very easy to drink. The finish is clean, elegant, and persistent. This wine pairs ideally with roasted poultry, white meats, refined vegetarian cuisine, or fine charcuterie, while offering real pleasure even in its youth.
