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 10–15% new) for just under a year.

The result is a wine that offers the grace and precision of a much more pedigreed appellation. Aromatically, it’s bright and floral—think wild strawberries, redcurrants, and dried rose—with 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.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial is among the most esteemed producers in the Côte Chalonnaise, long admired for crafting wines of precision, purity, and site expression. Based in the village of Rully, Vincent took over his family’s historic estate in the early 1990s and has since been instrumental in raising the region’s profile. Today, he is recognized as one of Burgundy’s most exacting and respected vignerons.

The domaine is certified organic and emphasizes low-intervention viticulture, strict yield control, and an uncompromising attention to detail from vine to bottle. Vincent’s wines—whether from Rully, Mercurey, or regional appellations like Bourgogne—stand out for their balance, elegance, and ability to express the nuanced personality of their terroir. His Bourgogne Rouge is a gateway to the domaine’s style: thoughtful, precise, and deeply expressive of place.
