2022 Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Bourgogne Rouge, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge is sourced primarily from parcels in and around Rully, where limestone-rich soils and a cooler microclimate shape a Pinot Noir of finesse and tension. Farmed organically with hand-harvesting and careful sorting, the fruit is vinified with minimal intervention to preserve terroir expression and purity. The wine sees fermentation with indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and aging in French oak barrels (typically 10â15% new) for just under a year.
The result is a wine that offers the grace and precision of a much more pedigreed appellation. Aromatically, itâs bright and floralâthink wild strawberries, redcurrants, and dried roseâwith savory undertones of crushed herbs and earth. The structure is delicately framed, with fresh acidity lending lift and linearity. This is not a Bourgogne Rouge built on weight or opulence, but rather one that thrives on clarity, transparency, and charm.
