The 2022 Duroche Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is a particularly poignant release, labelled "Cuvée Mariette" in remembrance of Duroché's mother, who passed away this year and originally purchased the parcel. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits offers a typical nose of dark berry fruit and light sandstone aromas, earthy yet detailed. On the medium-bodied palate, you'll find bright red cherries, mulberry, and blueberry on the entry, with a sweet core and a dash of pepper from the 15% whole bunches. It presents a rich purple hue, with darker, clearly ripe fruit notes, followed by fresher red fruit. The wine shows concentration and elegance with silky tannins and bright acidity, leading to a persistent, focused finish. This wine is built for the long haul, with a recommended drinking window from 2032-2040. 【紀念釀酒師母親的特別年份】 This powerful yet elegant Grand Cru calls for equally refined dishes. Consider pairing it with beef tenderloin, grilled lamb, venison roast, or herb-crusted steak. Wild mushroom pasta would also be a superb match. An exceptional wine for a significant celebration, a milestone anniversary, or a serious wine collector's tasting. Given its youth and aging potential, it's also a prime candidate for cellaring to enjoy its full evolution.
