Tasting notes
The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru, from the négoce side of Duroché, did not quite engage on the nose; it felt rather surly and lacked the intensity that I found in other Echézeaux this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very harmonious and silky in the mouth, with a tinge of balsamic toward the finish. A well-crafted Grand Cru without the je ne sais quoi that I found on other cuvées from the domaine.

Farmed by Marianne’s father. 10–20% whole bunch. One barrel. Tank sample. A real intensity and vigour to this wine. Real juice and depth. Long and racy. Vigorous and lengthy with savour and succulence. Quite polished. (JR)
About the producer
Domaine Duroché has, under Pierre Duroché, become one of the most sought-out and respected wine domaines in Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are delicate and detailed, yet with old-vine intensity, a clear sense of place and style – and it’s easy to see why they’ve rapidly become so in-demand.
