Duroche Pierre & Marianne Gevrey-Chambertin Combe au Moine 2023 AOC 0.75l

Duroche Pierre & Marianne Gevrey-Chambertin Combe au Moine 2023 AOC 0.75l is a wine that embodies Gevrey-Chambertin through a texture of elegant density and precision, the fruit of a working philosophy that prioritizes attention to terroir and the slow ripening of the grapes, in keeping with a family tradition rooted in the vineyards of an artisanal winery where Pierre and Marianne Duroché lead a constant pursuit of authenticity, measured technique, and respect for the maturation of flavor curves. The producer's story is born from the commitment of a family tied to the territory, who has chosen to preserve a distinctive characteristic: expressing the identity of the Combe au Moine vineyard, an oenological trait recognized for its complexity, depth, and ability to evolve over time. The production philosophy emphasizes careful soil management, controlled yields, manual harvesting, and an aging process that enhances the raw material without overpowering it, preserving the vibrant vitality of the grapes and allowing for mineral notes that emerge as a signature of the region. Compared to other wines from the region, this Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for its texture that combines controlled power and elegant breadth: the granite component of the soil, the slope, and a certain climatic freshness give the wine a vertical thrust and a lengthy flavor that invites further tasting, not a rapid extraction but a slow progression. On the palate, it presents an intense ruby ​​color and lively brilliance, a bouquet that reveals quality notes of ripe red fruits, a spicy velvet, and hints of graphite, earth, and undergrowth, while the palate welcomes smooth tannins, a fine texture, and a savory finish that supports a long, clean finish. In the Gevrey-Chambertin producer's range, Combe au Moine 2023 occupies a central position for those seeking an authentic expression of the terroir, capable of dialoguing with meat dishes, mushrooms and medium-aged cheeses, offering a benchmark of style and quality that embodies Duroché's commitment to enhancing each year with consistency and character, a choice that speaks to the maturity of the context and the attention to detail typical of the STELT positioning.
