Vincent Dureuil-Janthial is one of the Côte Chalonnaise’s most respected growers, known for his precision and organic farming. This 2022 Aligoté comes from a 0.57 ha plot in Rully, planted in 1985 on clay-limestone soils with an eastern exposure.

The wine is whole-cluster pressed and fermented with native yeasts in older barrels, then aged 12 months in wood and 6 more in tank. Unfined and unfiltered, it shows Aligoté’s tension, clarity, and mineral depth.

Dureuil-Janthial is a star producer in the Côte Chalonnaise, a region of Burgundy that is often underappreciated. Just south of the Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise has the same soil composition as its more celebrated northern neighbor. However, mechanized farming and a more industrial approach to winemaking marked the region for much of recent history. Vincent-Dureuil-Janthial became an exception to that rule almost instantly when he took over his family’s winery in 1994 at the young age of 24. He went against the grain by converting his vineyards to organic farming and by eschewing the machines and instead opting for hand harvesting.

His hard work paid off and now he is known as an exceptional winemaker around the world for both his reds and his whites. Such a double-threat is a rarity in Burgundy. Jean-François Coche once gave them the ultimate endorsement when he said that if he spots Dureuil-Janthial on a wine list, he always buys their wine.

"The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté comes from vines planted in 1984. It has an open-knit bouquet with custard cremes and light apricot blossom scents. Slightly creamy in texture on the palate, this is pure and balanced, with fine acidity and a hint of squeezed lime lending tension and spice to the finish. Fine." -Neal Martin
