But there just is no other artist in the region that faithfully crafts Burgundy with as much purity, elegance or character as does Dureuil.<\/p>\n

Not only is Dureuil a gifted winemaker, but also he is blessed with some exemplary older-vine vineyards that for years have been cared for organically\u2014a higher level of attention that sets Dureuil qualitatively apart from the pack. His delicate touch translates each individual terroir into a perfect liquid picture of what the best of Rully\u2014and the best of Burgundy, for that matter\u2014can be.<\/p>\n

We first encountered the Dureuil family back in the 1980s when Raymond Dureuil ran his own estate. During a visit in 1995, he offered us a taste of premier cru \u2018Meix Cadot\u2019 white Burgundy, vinified by his 20-year-old son, Vincent, who bottled the wine unfined and unfiltered (an idea the father frowned on).<\/p>\n

If we hadn\u2019t known the source, we would have thought we were drinking grand cru Montrachet. Even in those early years, Vincent displayed an uncanny talent; and in the decades since, his skills and expertise have only grown, to the point where we can say without hesitation that Vincent Dureuil ranks among the finest artisans in all of Burgundy.

Vincent Dureuil has cared for all his vineyards organically since the mid-2000s (yet does not include an organic stamp on his labels). Vineyard rows are regularly plowed to control weed growth. Very little sulfur is added during fermentation or at bottling.<\/p>\n

For the reds, bunches are destemmed and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks or upright wooden fermenters. Wines are aged in French oak barrels from 16 to 18 months (with up to one-third new oak, depending on the cru) and are bottled unfined and unfiltered.<\/p>\n

For the whites, whole clusters are pressed directly and fermented on indigenous yeasts in barrel. Wines are aged in French oak barrels, with no more than 25 percent new oak, depending on the cru. Vincent performs some lees stirring (batonnage) during the winter months. Wines are racked according to the cycles of the moon, and are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
