"Pierre Duroché has become an overnight superstar" - Neal Martin
When it comes to purity of expression and coaxing an intricate and subtle complexity from Gevrey, it's clear that Duroché has the touch.
 |
From Villages to Grand Cru, Duroché's entire lineup is seriously impressive. With that said, we find the lieu-dits bottlings particularly exciting. They make abundantly clear the precision and attention to detail that's in play at this domaine.
Today, we're happy to offer Duroché's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Champ" for $75.95.
Champ comes from northern Gevrey from a site averaging 40-45 year old vines. Champ's signature is refinement, freshness, and detailed minerality.
This is a site that thrived in 2018. The delicacy of the wine is shocking. In this warm vintage, Duroché was somehow able to make wines with bright aromatics, beautiful delineation, and a stern mineral core.
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Champ" makes very clear why Duroché is one of the most exciting Burgundian winemakers. There's a clarity of expression and exacting detail that really sets it apart.

Neal Martin, Vinous Media: "The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champ shows a little more amplitude than the regular Gevrey Village. Perfumed wilted rose petal scents and crushed stone infuse the transparent red fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a crunchy opening. A brittle-boned Gevrey (and I write that in a positive sense) with a stony, mineral-driven finish. Great persistence here. Superb."
