Domaine Duroche Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 AOC 0.75l

The Domaine Duroché Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 AOC 0.75l tells a story of terroir, patience, and craftsmanship that takes shape among the vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the heart of Burgundy, where Pinot Noir expresses its elegance and a substance that promises aging. The label is presented as a tile in a range that reflects the house's philosophy: meticulous vineyard management, manual harvesting, and a winemaking process that prioritizes precision, restrained extraction, and an aging process that enhances the terroir without overpowering it. The producer's history, though discreet, reflects a continuous search for balance between fruit and structure, mineral depth and aromatic refinement, traits that define the company's identity. This 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin exudes the essence of a region renowned for its blend of power and grace: the nose reveals notes of morello cherry and dark cherry, with hints of raspberry and a peppery note that blends with orange zest and nuances of graphite. On the palate, refinement unfolds in well-balanced tannins, a freshness that supports a full mouthfeel, and a progression that evolves over time, leaving a mineral edge and a subtle toasty sensation on the palate. This wine occupies a central place in the producer's portfolio, a credible interpreter of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir without distorting the house's ethos; it is designed both to accompany structured dishes and to be appreciated in a thoughtful tasting, where the flavor memory is enriched with nuances without haste. Tasting requires patience: it is best with an opening that allows the wine to expand and progressively offer notes of cocoa, licorice, and toast. Ultimately, Domaine Duroché Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 AOC 0.75l presents itself as an authentic and defined proposal, in line with the STELT positioning, which favours quality, consistency and sincere dialogue with the territory.
