We hope you'll try this memorable cuvée one day, for its elegance and complexity: rose, violet, cherry, pepper, oregano, leather... Palate: velvety tannins, mineral structure, just the right amount of acidity. A free and pure Pinot, close to perfection.
Yann Durieux
Yann Durieux. He may have the look of a wayward hippy, but this is a man who’s never lost his way or his gift. The young vigneron is a wunderkind with an impeccable résumé, including 10 years at Prieuré-Roch as vineyard manager. Let’s just put it in bold now for all to see: ATTENTION PURE TALENT. In 2010, he and Christela took over Domaine Recrue des Sens, then an estate in difficulty. Their daughter Manon would be born there, and today one of Yann’s cuvée carries her name. In creating his estate, situated around the commune of Messanges, Yann revived a few parcels north of the Côte-de-Nuits, in the Hautes Côtes, and soon rented some vines as well to meet a growing demand. This passionate vigneron’s philosophy is simple: fundamentalist natural winemaking. Don’t be fooled, behind his laid-back image, Yann is a tireless worker, perfectionist, meticulous and determined. He’s the one of the winemaker of the decade in Burgundy!
