2023 Pierre & Marianne Duroche, Corton Grand Cru

Around 75 cases made, depending on the vintage. Dense, structured, and built for the long game — dark fruit, iron-rich earth, violet, and a brooding mineral depth that only Corton delivers in this register, with firm tannins and a finish that carries real authority and length. The 2023 Pierre & Marianne Duroché "Corton" Grand Cru is organically farmed Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune's most powerful and age-worthy appellations — the same meticulous, low-intervention approach Pierre applies across all Duroché wines: native yeast, no fining, no filtration, aging in neutral oak. Pierre and Marianne launched this négociant project in 2017, sourcing from Marianne's family holdings across the Côte, bringing the same obsessive detail that has made Duroché's Gevrey grand crus among the most sought-after wines in Burgundy. Cellar to 2030 minimum — this is not a wine to rush
