Bourgogne Rouge, Domaine Duroché 2021
Domaine Duroché's 2021 Bourgogne Rouge is a deep cerise wine with rich, dark red fruit on the nose. It has lovely density and a velvety persistence, leaving a rich, smooth finish. 5th generation winemaker Pierre Duroché needs no introduction these days, having been propelled into the very front ranks of Burgundy’s most sought-after growers. Wines with incredible purity of fruit, racy minerality, and no shortage of tension, vibrancy and energy. His top wines have received more than a few perfect scores – a rarity in Burgundy – and unsurprisingly demand dwarves supply, so much so that our only complaint with Duroché is that there never is enough wine!
Château Monbousquet 2020
Monbousquet’s terroir is truly exceptional, with mostly warm, deep gravel to the south and sandy-clay soils to the north. As at Cheval Blanc and Figeac its soils are largely gravel, and thus warm, so relatively late-ripening Cabernets can ripen perfectly. This natural feature accounts for the particularly large proportion of these grapes in the vineyard’s composition.
