Left Premier 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 92
"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a fresh nose with red berry fruit, pine and light cedar scents that gain intensity in the glass, delivering subtle Earl Grey scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and gentle grip with a pleasing edginess on the refined finish. Maybe more earlier drinking compared to other cuvées." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques Vieilles Vignes is one of the wilder, more carnal wines in the range this year, offering up aromas of cherries, dark berries, orange zest, sweet spices and game bird, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's structured and muscular." -William Kelley

"Excellent balance between richness and delicacy. A relatively flirtatious Gevrey but there’s nothing wrong with that. I like the lightly sandy quality of the light tannins."
