The history of Domaine Duroch\u00e9 spans five generations, beginning with Louis and continuing to Pierre. What started as a simple farming estate with a few vines around the house is now a leading estate with 8.5 hectares of property, all in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin.<\/p>\n
The first bottling dates back to 1933, in the old cellar next to the village church. But for Philippe, Pierre\u2019s grandfather, that space was no longer adequate for the Domaine\u2019s needs. Using his savings, in 1955 he purchased a new cellar at 7 Place du Monument, where he installed the sign \u201cDomaine Duroch\u00e9.\u201d In the same year, he also bought a small plot within the Grand Cru Clos de B\u00e8ze.<\/p>\n
Today, more than ninety years after the first bottle, the Domaine includes four Grand Crus and six Premier Crus, all located in Gevrey-Chambertin.<\/p>\n
In 2005, Pierre officially joined the estate alongside his father Gilles and gained full control of the Domaine that same year. From then on, he began a deep transformation: deciding to vinify all of the estate\u2019s grapes internally, which until a few years prior had been partly sold to n\u00e9gociants. He introduced environmentally respectful farming practices, completely eliminating the use of synthetic chemicals and returning to horse-drawn work on some plots to reduce soil compaction.<\/p>\n
Today, together with his wife Marianne, Pierre has succeeded in turning Domaine Duroch\u00e9 into a benchmark not only for the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin but for the entire C\u00f4te de Nuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
