Domaine Duroché is run by fifth-generation Pierre Duroché. His extensive Gevrey-Chambertin holdings include three village wines, four premiers crus and four grands crus.

The domaine’s holdings amount to a total of 8.25 hectares. All the grapes are destemmed except for the Griotte-Chambertin, which is vinified as whole clusters. Only natural yeasts are used during the fermentation, which usually takes 10-12 days.

Ageing is done in barrels of which 10-20% are new for village wine, 30-50% for the premier cru and 50-75% for grand cru.
Between 2005 and 2008 Pierre made the wines along with his father Gilles, and since the 2009 vintage, has solely overseen the wine making and vineyard management.

Cultivation methods adapt to the needs of the vineyard as climatic conditions change each year. Reasoning and knowledge of the environment continue to form the basis of this domaine’s work. Precision and elegance define the wines in which the notion of terroir is undeniable. The wines are gaining recognition from wine critics and wine enthusiasts the world over; affirming these as among the very best in their relative appellations.
