Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois Duroché (Domaine) 2020
The wine
A rising star of the Côte de Nuits, the Duroché domain is reputed for the finesse of its wines. This cuvée comes from organic growing in a terroir of sandy marl. Matured for fifteen months in vats, this Gevrey-Chambertin should be aged for over ten years in the cellar in order to reveal all its aromatic richness and velvety texture, as well as to develop its racy, tannic structure.
About the Producer Duroché
Domaine Duroché has been managed by the same family for five generations; they bottled their wines for the first time in 1933. Their vines now span 8 hectares in the Côte de Nuits' top appellations, including Gevrey-Chambertin premier and grand cru and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. For these producers, having top quality grapes is expedient to making good wine. To grow healthy grapes, soils are tilled and grass is allowed to grow between rows; synthetic products are not used. The same philosophy presides in the winery. Extractions are moderate, the élevage lasts between 13 and 15 months and the wines are bottled without filtration. We particularly enjoy these wines for their fruit-driven character, whether drank young or after some cellaring.
