Tasting Note
100% Pinot Noir from vines grown organically and planted on clay-limestone soils. If the name wasn’t clear enough, yes, GC stands for Gevrey-Chambertin, even though it is labelled as a Vin de France! Manual harvest and natural vinification. Maceration in whole bunches, soft pressing, 10 months of aging in barrels. Unfined, unfiltered, zero added sulfites. The color is a slightly cloudy ruby color and has aromas of violet, cherry, strawberry, red currant, pepper, thyme,
oregano, truffle and leather. In the mouth, you can feel the flavors of red berries, oak and spice, lively acidity and mild tannin, with an elegant finish.
What does this wine tast like?
Recrue des Sens
Yann Durieux is a remarkably talented and passionate young winemaker making waves in the Burgundy wine scene. Hailing from a family of winemakers in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Yann’s exposure to the world of viticulture began at a remarkably young age. At just 13 years old, he already vinified his first vintage solo, setting the stage for his future in winemaking.
In 1999, Yann had a life-changing encounter with Henry-Frederich Roch, which profoundly influenced his winemaking philosophy and deepened his love for the concept of terroir. Subsequently, he spent a decade working with Domaine des Vignes du Maynes before joining Domaine du Prieure Roch (‘DPR’) in 2007. At DPR, he not only contributed to cellar operations but was entrusted with overseeing their esteemed parcel of Clos-de-Beze. This responsibility was a testament to his exceptional understanding of biodynamic viticulture and profound appreciation for terroir.
In 2010, Yann decided to pursue his dream of reclaiming his family’s lost vineyards in the Hautes-Côtes-de Nuits, and thus, he founded his Domaine, ‘Recrue des Sens.’ For the initial three vintages, Yann utilised the cellars of DPR before finding a vigneron’s house and cellar in Villiers-la-Faye to establish his winemaking base.
Nestled in the Hautes-Côtes-de Nuits, with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) as its neighbour, Yann’s vineyards lie in magical terroir. With a profound connection to the land and a family legacy that stretches back through generations of winemakers, Yann brings a deep understanding and love for the region to his winemaking craft.
