SCEA Dom. V. Dureuil-Janthial   Burgundy, France    
     
 
  "If I see his name on a wine list, I don't give it a second thought and simply order his wine." (Jean-Francois Coche)

The immensely talented Vincent Dureuil, only in his mid-30s, produces a stunning range of single-vineyard white and red Burgundies in the Cote-Chalonnaise village of Rully, where his family has been since the 1500s. His tireless vineyard work (he spends 14 hours a day among his vines during much of the growing season, doing most of the vineyard work himself) and his assured but light touch in the cellar make for some of the most surprising and incredible Burgundy values to be found anywhere…

Furthermore, he is equally adept with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which is a rarity in Burgundy, and an amazing feat for any winemaker. Vincent’s wines are balanced, precise, crystal-clear in their expression of terroir, and always fiercely mineral. Every vintage, he seems to become more and more assured, and his wines become more and more impressive. He has converted entirely to organic viticulture, and never uses chemical pesticides or herbicides of any kind on his vineyards.
