From grapes sourced in the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses, the nose is intense and enveloping, with floral notes that fully embody the essence of Pinot Noir. The color is equally intense, a deep and fleshy red.
On the palate, it expresses itself with a firm and compact structure, with evident notes from the stems that add character. It is an extraordinary concentration of fleshy red fruit of exceptional quality.
With aeration, the wine transforms: on the nose, notes of cherry and pomegranate emerge with greater clarity, while the floral nuances evolve delicately like dried rose petals. On the palate, the initial edges gradually round out and everything comes together in a cohesive harmony, with silky tannins that envelop the palate.
A stunning wine.
I’m grateful to have another bottle to enjoy in a few years.

How was this cuvée in terms of stinkyness? I only had his orange Aligote, which was a bit too natural for me.
“omg yann durieux is such a flex. 😭 honestly tho i feel like natural wine people just drink this for the label and the vibes… is it actually worth the price tag or am i just poor?
I’ve been fortunate to have had both Manon and Les Ponts and I must say given the price I was very disappointed, but they were unique especially Manon.
