2022 DOMAINE DUREUIL-JANTHIAL Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru "Clos des Argillières"

Vincent Dureuil is widely regarded as the master of Rully, but his precision extends deep into the Côte de Nuits where he crafts some of the region's most expressive Pinot Noirs. Sourced from a small 39-are parcel of vines planted in 1942, "Clos des Argillières" is a prestigious site characterized by "terre blanche"—limestone soils with high concentrations of chalk and clay. The 2022 vintage highlights Dureuil's fanatical attention to detail. Every grape is hand-harvested and hand-destemmed, ensuring only the most perfect berries enter the fermentation process. Following the lunar calendar for all movements and bottling, Vincent creates a wine of immense technical purity that strikes a masterful balance between the natural power of Nuits-Saint-Georges and a sophisticated, almost ethereal elegance.
