For the first time, the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Etelais is matured half in ceramic and half in traditional oak barrels. This has a finely poised bouquet with slightly darker fruit than the Jeunes Rois. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, a dash of white pepper and bay leaf. It has a more complex finish than the previous vintage. It is exquisite.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois is beautiful, bursting with aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingled with rose petals, exotic spices and confit orange. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave, it's seamless and enveloping, with melting tannins and a pure, ethereal profile. As usual, this is one of the insiders' choices chez Duroché. This is another lovely set of wines from Pierre Duroché, emphasizing supple, sensual structures and expressive aromas. After the hailstorms of 2022, 2023 was less eventful, with warm weather punctuated by showers that alleviated any hydric stress. Harvest began on September 5, as usual with the Griotte-Chambertin. As readers may remember, Duroché has been experimenting with "tressage"—rolling vines' canopies instead of trimming them—in some parcels. In the cellar, new oak continues to make a minimal contribution, but the historic emphasis on Tonnellerie Cadus has diminished to avoid any one cooper defining the domaine style. Vinifications continue to be rather delicate, with comparatively short macerations and little in the way of pigéage. Fully renovated winery facilities, complete with a battery of made-to-measure stainless steel tanks, facilitate precision vinification, something that was a particular advantage in 2023.
