Tasting notes
Duroché's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Le Clos is showing well from bottle, bursting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, dried flowers, smoked meats and cedar. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with fine texture and depth at the core while remaining charming and open-knit.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Le Clos is a little more vivacious and energetic than the "Champ", hints of orange zest infusing the open-knit red berry fruit, touches of tobacco emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This feels fleshy though not deep, after all, this is not a Premier Cru. However, it is very poised with a dash of Shezhuan pepper imparting a tingling sensation on the aftertaste. Very fine.
