Vincent Dureuil is an amazing vigneron. He produces exquisite red and white wines which are among the most highly regarded (and enjoyed!) by his peers in all Burgundy. Having taken over his father’s vines a few years ago, he now owns some 20 hectares (16 of which are in Rully) which are farmed organically. A large proportion of his vines are in excess of 50 to 75 years old. His reds are rigorously sorted, totally destemmed and are cold macerated at 10 degrees for 10 days prior to fermentation.
This Bourgogne Blanc (baby Puligny!) is from a 0.4 hectare plot of 40 year old vines planted in the lieu dit of “La Combe” in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet.
