Duroché Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Lavaut St-Jacques 2023

95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "A nose of dried flowers and cinnamon in this straightforward and athletic Lavaux-Saint-Jacques, with fine tannins, restraint and delicacy, and a fairly straightforward and firm profile. (2026)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): "Lavaut-St-Jacques was not the last to be picked for once, to avoid flétri (wrinkled skins) which was threatening, and it certainly comes across as quite ripe. Mid purple. The bouquet takes a little searching out, then sensual red and black fruit across the palate. Not ultra concentrated but quite fine. (Nov 2024)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques wafts from the glass with aromas of orange zest, rose petals, spices and sweet dark berries. Medium to full-bodied, ample and sensual, it's bright and melting, with soft tannins and a long, sapid finish. (Jan 2025)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has an elegant and refined nose featuring delineated brambly red fruit and forest floor scents with just a hint of ash. It's finely focused. The palate is medium-bodied, open and charming with lace-like tannins, gentle grip and a dash of white pepper on the finish. This is delightful. Drink: 2026-2036. (Jan 2025)"
