Score 88/100 · Drink 2023-2027, Neal Martin, Apr 2023
The 1988 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a ferrous, mature bouquet with vestiges of freshness. Rustic and stalky compared to more recent vintages under Pierre Duroché, though not without charm. The palate is medium-bodied with fine acidity, fresh though admittedly not complex. Some dryness creeps in towards the finish, structured and foursquare. Drink soon. Tasted at the Clos de Bèze vertical at La Cobotte.

About the producer

Domaine Duroche
Domaine Duroché has, under Pierre Duroché, become one of the most sought-out and respected wine domaines in Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are delicate and detailed, yet with old-vine intensity, a clear sense of place and style – and it’s easy to see why they’ve rapidly become so in-demand.
