The Story
Clos Vougeot can be a mixed bag—but in the hands of Pierre & Marianne Duroche, it becomes something quietly powerful. The 2022 vintage is a standout: a warm year, but handled with such a light touch that the wine stays fresh, lifted, and full of detail.
This is Grand Cru Pinot with poise: red fruit, rose petals, and forest floor layered over fine tannins and that signature Duroche clarity. It doesn’t shout; it just hums with energy and elegance, building slowly with each sip. You can feel the vineyard’s gravitas—but you also feel the joy in the winemaking.
If you want a Clos Vougeot that leans more Gevrey than gothic, this is the bottle. One to drink or to cellar, and a Grand Cru you don’t need to overthink.
