"Pierre and Gilles Duroché's wines are defined by precision and elegance, in which the notion of terroir is undeniable. "
Soil Specificity
The soils in Côte de Nuits result on the consequences of the uplift of the Alps and the collapse of the plain of the Saône. The vines are mainly planted on limestone slopes. At the summit sits the famous "stone of premeaux", giving Romanée-Conti, Richeboug, and La Tâche outstanding wines. The soils are formed of calcareous scree, limestone, and red silt with a large diversity of terroir contributing to the typicality of the Côte de Nuits wines.
A Passionate Lineage
Domaine Duroché is a family estate extending around the town of Gevrey-Chambertin, with different types of appellations (Grands crus, 1er crus, Villages and regional). The story began five generations ago and nowadays Domaine Duroché's notoriety is fast growing, thanks to the quality of Pierre and Gilles' work. Pierre joined his dad in 2005. Cultivation techniques adapt to the climatic variation in order to produce best wine each year.
