Duroché Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

94-96 points Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): "The Durochés have two plots by Griotte-Chambertin, on very limestone soil, and two small alluvial plots in lower Charmes close to Mazoyères, all fermented together. Dense mid purple, there is more concentration here, plenty of charming fruit up front but with more backbone than sometimes. Fine balance between fruit, tannin and acidity, with a clean long finish where the fruit keeps growing. Some eggs in use as well as barrels here. (Nov 2024)"

94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has gained a little more complexity on the nose since I tasted it from barrel. It retains that pencil shaving scent intertwined with black plummy fruit, a bit more Mazoyères in style than before. The palate is very well balanced with finely tuned tannins, plush mouthfeel and a svelte texture. As I wrote before, it feels like there is slightly less acidity than other cuvées, but it retains balance with a very harmonious finish that is pure Charmes. Superb. Drink: 2026-2045. (Jan 2025)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is very charming, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, berries, sweet spices and incense. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's bright and sensual, with a soft, giving profile, wearing its heart on its sleeve. (Jan 2025)"
