Yann Durieux - Recrue des Sens

Yann Durieux, founder of Recrue des Sens in Burgundy, is a top-tier natural winemaker based in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits and Côte de Nuits.

A former manager at Prieuré‑Roch, he farms biodynamically across ~15 ha of family and leased vineyards with old vines and limestone-clay soils.

Durieux crafts spirited natural wines — including his ethereal Aligoté cuvées Love & Pif (light, mineral, brief skin maceration) and Les Ponts Blancs (orange-style macerated Aligoté) .

His Pinot Noirs — like La Gouzotte, Night Cost, and Les Ponts — feature whole-bunch fermentations, gentle foot-pigeage, aging in tank or older barrels, and zero added sulfur, resulting in refined, textural reds that are vibrantly authentic.

Cult status among Burgundy natural wine enthusiasts, Yann’s releases are limited and characterized by purity, emotion, and terroir-driven finesse.
