The 2016 vintage for Burgundy was challenging, marked by a mild winter, a cooler March, and ultimately low yields, approximately 40% below 2009 levels. Despite these difficulties, Domaine Duroché's 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin En Vosne is considered a delightful wine, offering tremendous intensity without the dense concentration of the riper 2015s. This cuvée, produced since the 2016 vintage, comes from old vines planted in 1934 in a northern parcel of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, which yield tiny, millerandé berries, enhancing the wine's concentration. 【Managed by fifth-generation winemaker Pierre Duroché, earning acclaim from critics and enthusiasts for the quality of his wines】. It boasts a lovely purple hue and initially a shy nose that, with aeration, reveals an elegant red-fruited profile of pomegranate, cherry, and a subtle truffle touch. Tasting notes also highlight dark berries, peonies, rich soil tones, woodsmoke, rosehip, wild rose, and licorice. The palate is soft with high acidity and medium, silky tannins, offering a feminine, graceful feel with hints of black pepper, cherry pit, and a quiet savoriness, leading to a delicate yet serious finish. Food pairing recommendations include duck, goose, and other game birds. This Gevrey-Chambertin can be enjoyed in its youth but also possesses excellent potential for laying down, making it suitable for fine dining, special dinners, or cellaring.
