Domaine Duroché is located in Gevrey-Chambertin , in Burgundy . It has been a family estate for 5 generations with the first bottlings made from the 1933 vintage.

Following successive purchases of plots from fathers to sons, they now operate 8.5 hectares in the Burgundy, Gevrey-Chambertin, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru and Grands Crus appellations, including the prestigious Chambertin Clos de Bèze.
The Gevrey-Chambertin “Lavaut Saint-Jacques” is made from Pinot Noir grown on the Premier Cru terroir of the same name. The soil is composed of clayey limestone and alluvium. The vines were planted between 1923 and 1980. During vinification, extractions are moderate and aging varies from 13 to 15 months without racking. Bottling is carried out after the barrels of each vintage are assembled in vats. This wine has an aging potential of at least ten years.
