    Named France's "Winemaker of the Year" in 2019 by magazine Revue de Vin du France, Vincent nonetheless is still an insider's secret among Burgundy lovers here in the United States. Granted, Vincent doesn't make a lot of wine, and most of his bounty remains in Europe, appearing on the wine lists of the finest Michelin-ranked restaurants in France. The French do know a good thing when it comes to great Burgundy! Not only is Dureuil a gifted winemaker, but also he is blessed with healthy, older-vine vineyards that for years have been cared for organically -- a higher level of attention that sets Dureuil qualitatively apart from the pack. His delicate touch in the cellar translates each individual terroir into a perfect liquid picture of what the best of Rully -- and the best of Burgundy, for that matter -- can be. “Dureuil continues to fashion some of the very best wines in the Côte Chalonnaise.

    Given how inexpensive the wines are in most markets, I highly recommend them to you for both quality and value.” -- Allan Meadows, Burghound

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    Cote Chalonnaise, Burgundy

    View all products

    Beloved for its deep and flavorful reds made of Pinot Noir, Mercurey is the largest and most important village in the Côte Chalonnaise of Burgundy with most of its vineyards tucked away in hillsides or stretched along the aptly-named “Golden Valley.” This valley, sheltered from the moist and cool air that funnels along at lower elevations, is ideal for ripening Pinot noir.

    Mercurey follows strict yield laws, similar to those at the Côte d’Or village level, promoting the development of deep, full, concentrated and age-worthy Pinot noirs. In their youth, a chewy and rich structure supports flavors of ripe strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Age brings notes of underbrush, tobacco and cocoa.

    While Pinot Noir claims the majority of Mercurey vineyard acreage, Chardonnay does grow here and produces uniqely floral and spicey scented white wines.
