Left Grand Cru Burgundy

Pierre Duroché's family has been bottling their own wines since the 1930s, when all but a handful of Burgundy growers — families like Duroché's neighbors, the Rousseaus—sold their produce to negociants. But the pioneering American wine importers, Colonel Wildman and Frank Schoonmaker, who made international stars of the Rousseaus (et al.) skipped his address. The Duroché wines remained a French-only phenom.

That's beginning to change. Just a few years ago a member of the contemporary club of elite importers (thank you Doug Polaner) started importing the wines. Daniel Johnnes introduced the Duroché name at his La Paulée events. American Burgundy-lovers have caught up fast.

Whatever it is that drives Pierre up the faces of sheer cliffs, also drives him to work obsessively in the vineyard and in the cellar. The fastidiousness that keeps him alive when climbing translates to elegant wines with gorgeous fruit and pure terroir expressions. They hit a stylistic bullseye for today's Burgundy drinkers: subtle oak; just a touch reductive; red and blue fruited, with maybe a touch of orange; and always, the terroir. No wonder Duroché is suddenly one of the most talked-about “new” producers on the market.

Duroché has tiny plots in Premier and Grand Crus, but you don't have to shell out for the big bottles to see what all the fuss is about. His ability to make village Gevrey-Chambertin taste so extraordinary and distinct really sets him apart. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without his fantastic terroir: this is not across-the-road Gevrey, but good sites in Brochon, with plenty of old vines.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2023 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has more presence and depth on the nose than the Charmes-Chambertin. Like last year's vintage, it contains 15% whole bunch. Its bouquet features well-defined red fruit, undergrowth and light loamy scents. The palate is fresh, vibrant and medium-bodied with a bright entry. This is quite spicy toward the finish, with impressive length. It's lovely." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The 2023 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of sweet plums, orange zest, petals and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and sensual, with an ample core of fruit animated by lively acids and framed by melting tannins, it concludes with a precise, saline finish." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 96
"This is an elegant iteration of Latricières, with a ripe aroma of black plums and spice. There is a bit of the firm, flinty minerality of Chambertin, not surprisingly so, since the vines sit on the border, separated by only a small vineyard path. The texture does not seem as muscular as it has in previous vintages, with tannins that are firm but not overly so. This elegant wine should open in five to seven years and should drink well for another 30 beyond that."
