2022 Pierre & Marianne Duroche, Vosne-Romanee

Pierre and Marianne Duroche employ a meticulous approach to the *Les Chalandins* lieu-dit, utilizing organic-leaning viticulture and gentle, infusion-style winemaking to emphasize the site's inherent character over cellar intervention. This Vosne-Romanée is defined by its origin in the transitional zone between the village and Le Clos Vougeot, a placement that anchors the wine in classic Pinot Noir elegance. The 2022 vintage provided a warm, stable growing season that facilitated physiological maturity while maintaining the structural tension and nerve essential to the appellation. The resulting wine is built on fine-grained, persistent tannins and a measured mid-palate density, offering a transparent expression of the site’s limestone-inflected soils. Duroche’s practice of aging in minimal new oak ensures the final structure remains focused, balanced, and precise.
