Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Mercurey Rouge 2012
Vendor code : 1017
If you've heard of this village before, it's likely due to the brilliant work of Vincent Dureuil-Janthial at Domaine Dureuil-Janthial. It was only a matter of time before the domaine joined the ranks of the most interesting producers in the Côte Chalonnaise. The domaine's white wines, gourmand in texture yet always juicy and often spicy, set the standard for the region and can rival many of the more prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune. The red wines reach a similarly impressive level.

Domaine Dureuil-Janthial is widely regarded as one of the leading producers in the Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy. Led by Vincent Dureuil, who took over in 1994, the estate spans over 20 hectares, with vineyards located primarily in Rully and Mercurey, as well as smaller holdings in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The domaine produces both red and white wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, respectively, and has become known for the exceptional quality of both its red and white wines—a rare achievement in Burgundy. Dureuil-Janthial practices organic farming, and all work in the vineyard is done with meticulous care, including hand-harvesting and following the lunar calendar for viticultural activities. In the cellar, Vincent employs traditional winemaking techniques with minimal intervention, using indigenous yeasts and aging the wines in oak barrels for up to 18 months, depending on the cuvée. The domaine's wines, especially from the Rully appellation, are celebrated for their balance, precision, and expression of terroir. Notable Premier Cru vineyards include Le Meix Cadot, Margotés, and Chapitre, which produce wines that are highly sought after for their complexity and aging potential. Dureuil-Janthial has built a stellar reputation for producing both reds and whites of equal quality, making it a favorite among Burgundy enthusiasts and critics alike.
