Tasting notes
From a parcel planted in 1934 where the vines always produce tiny, millerandé berries, Duroché's 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin En Vosne unwinds in the glass with a youthful bouquet of dark berries, peonies, rich soil tones and woodsmoke, framed by a light touch of reduction that dissipates rapidly with aeration. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and lively, with a deep core of succulent fruit and powdery structuring tannins. Duroché has kept back this cuvée in his cellars with a view to releasing it with some bottle age, but he will exceptionally be releasing some of the 2016 later this year.

About the producer
Domaine Duroché has, under Pierre Duroché, become one of the most sought-out and respected wine domaines in Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are delicate and detailed, yet with old-vine intensity, a clear sense of place and style – and it’s easy to see why they’ve rapidly become so in-demand.
