Yann Durieux is a young winemaker who is definitely making his mark in Burgundy! He has very strong views about how wine should be made and how vines should be tended.
His domaine is called Recrue des Sens.He has both bought and rented vineyards in some amazingly good terroir, particularly in the Hautes Cotes de Nuits, but as he becomes more established he is also paying attention to other prime areas such as Gevrey Chambertin.Yann Durieux is a ‘new’ winemaker in one of the lesser known appellations of Burgundy – the Hautes Cotes de Nuits.
This may appear to be an obscure appellation but we need to remind those of you who are unaware of the area that Domaine de la Romanee Conti is his neighbour. They have established a vineyard here under the famous name because of their faith in the terroir of this area.
But this is a sideshow. When we first tasted Yann’s wines we were stunned at their purity, delicacy and their elegance. We are dedicated fans of the Aligote grape in Burgundy even though it is often regarded as a secondary grape by many outside France. We know that this is the wine that many winemakers in Burgundy drink with their lunch.
