Domaine Duroche Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Duroche Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a window onto the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir, where the Pinot Noir expresses with measure the complexity of the soil and the climatic trend of a vintage that favors maturity and freshness at the same time. It is a wine that is born from the commitment of a family domain, rooted in the heart of Burgundy, where the winemaking practice is based on a long-term vision: tended vineyard, hand-harvested, scrupulous selection of the berries and a cellar that favors attention to detail rather than immediate impact. The history of the producer, passed down from generation to generation, is witness to a continuous search for aromatic purity and precision of the character of the terroir, a legacy that coexists with the contemporary approach, capable of translating a grand cru into a contemporary language without concessions. The production philosophy is manifested in the balance between minimal and conscious intervention, a fermentation that accompanies natural yeasts and an aging in oak barrels of the first opening. Chosen for its silky tannins and structure that sustains the longest possible aging potential, distinctive elements include vineyard management aimed at extracting elegance while maintaining density, and the maturation of subsequent vintages maintained through gentle oxygenation and careful cellar reduction. The sensory characteristics emerge as a tale of dark fruit, cherry, plum, hints of black pepper, and a lucid minerality that guides the aroma and persistence. On the palate, the texture is refined, the tannins are smooth yet present, the acidity lends spontaneity and vivacity, and the finish is long and savory, with hints of graphite and delicate spices. This 2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru occupies a leading position in the producer's portfolio, demonstrating the art of transforming a complex terroir into a wine of great personality and longevity. For connoisseurs of a precise and complex flavor profile, this choice is in keeping with the hallmark of quality that cannot be improvised. In closing, STELT recounts a formula of sober and determined excellence, where Domaine Duroche Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023 becomes a reference of identity, terroir and promise of the future.
