Yann Durieux - Les Grands Ponts 2018
France | Burgundy | red
A tiny plot on a small hill. This is how you could sum up the vineyard that produces the Pinot Noir for Les Grands Ponts. And how small? So small that it only equals 2 barrels per year! The fuller and deeper Pinot earns the title "Grand".

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.
