Yann Durieux - GC 2019
Grapes that Yann buys from another, but very trustworthy, grower. Given that Yann is committed to the principles of natural winemaking, it was very difficult to find such a grower. In the cellar, there is already a Gevrey Chambertin under the direction of Yann. It is a wine of incredible finesse and power and one of the absolute stars of his range. Gevrey Chambertin is one of the legendary wine-growing villages of old Burgundy. The local Pinots are among the fullest and darkest in their region, but they do not lose the famous velvety tannins and pleasant, juicy freshness.

Yann Durieux - wine, dreadlocks, Burgundy. Something doesn't sit right with you? Natural wine shatters myths and Yann is proof of this. Just like his Aligoté Love and Pif! (Love or die!). Yann Durieux is a new generation winemaker who is making a huge name for himself in Burgundy! He has very strong opinions on how wine should be made and how vines should be grown.
Yann Durieux farms in a lesser-known part of Burgundy - Hautes Cotes de Nuits. But don't be fooled! Its neighbor is Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Yann's wines are very clean, delicate and elegant. Thanks to the great relationship we have with Yann, we got to the wine from Jean-Francois Ganevata. This dreadlocked madman introduced us together and the collaboration could begin.
