Popped poured and enjoyed over two days. Effusive nose of sweet red fruit which follows through on the palate with a masculine Gevrey texture and more red fruit. The tannin has become fine but still noticeable which tells me that this wine will continue to get better and evolve. Great effort and a delicious wine. The wine hardly budged on day two so I'm guessing this is a 20 year or more village wine. Amazing!

Another really good '15 Gevrey Villages showing really bright and delicious cherry fruit with good acidity that leads to a wonderful mineral crunch on the finish. Succulent and juicy and very drinkable now although I would expect it to improve over the next couple of years. This is balanced and classy and also electric. 90+

Outstanding. Too young. And yet we drank this and would have licked the bottom of the bowls if we could. I know the proper response to Burgundy is to be kind of withholding in your praise, but holy smokes this is good stuff that made me want to say swear words. You should hold onto this for 2-3 years, probably, but if you don't, a decant is crucial. Nice light, floral nose, and then a taste that starts small and ends up with a wave of cranberry and violet before receding something like 30 seconds later with puckering tannins all the way. Went really well with caprese. I truly like this -- it's my first Duroché and it's certainly not going to be my last. Team Duroché!

Silky structure, dark and fresh. Black currant and black raspberry, a bit of sous bois, a salty minerality. Very nice and very CdN.

Plush and easy drinking with just enough soil-y and forest-y things to keep things old world. Nice but not exceptional
