A small tail of the village lieu-dit Aux Etelois separates the grands crus of Charmes-Chambertin and Griotte-Chambertin, and it is here that the Duroché vines, planted in 1961, are situated. Notes of creamy red and black cherry and wild plum mingle with incipient hints of rich soil, introducing a supple wine with superb depth, tension and length. It's the most elegant village bottling in the portfolio.
