Yann Durieux

45,10 €

Love & Pif 2022 is one of the most emblematic wines of Yann Durieux , the winemaker behind Recrue des Sens and one of the most renowned figures in natural winemaking in Burgundy . Made with Aligoté grapes from the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits , it is a white wine that celebrates this historic variety of the region with a pure, vibrant, and energetic expression.

Aligoté is the undisputed star. Durieux brings out its best qualities: vibrant acidity , citrus and green apple notes, and a pronounced minerality . The result is a taut and juicy white wine, with far more depth than is often associated with this variety.

A vibrant, precise, and authentic white wine that proves Aligoté can go far in the right hands. It’s released as a Vin de France because the producer works independently, outside of appellations.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Pale yellow with greenish reflections, clean and bright, with a slight natural cloudiness because the wine is not filtered.

Nose: Aromas of fresh lemon, green apple and white flowers , accompanied by mineral notes and a subtle earthy touch.

On the palate: Fresh and taut on entry, with electric acidity and a juicy texture. Citrus fruit combines with a very pronounced mineral structure . Long, clean, and saline finish.

Love & Pif is made with Aligoté grapes from Burgundy vineyards cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods, without synthetic products and with great care for the soil. The grapes are hand -harvested at their optimal ripeness.

Fermentation is spontaneous, using native yeasts and without added sulfites . Afterwards, the wine undergoes patient aging in large oak vats or tanks, rather than new barrels, to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. It is bottled unfiltered . It is a natural wine in the truest sense, expressing the variety and the terroir without artifice.

A very gastronomic white wine , ideal as an aperitif and to accompany fish, seafood, oysters, white meats and goat or soft cheeses .

It’s also a great option for Japanese cuisine and for fresh, citrusy dishes.

Why we like it

Because it’s a signature wine with its own unique personality, made by one of Burgundy’s most singular winemakers . Love & Pif proves that Aligoté can produce great, vibrant, and exciting wines.

We especially love the energy, tension, and minerality it displays in the glass. It’s a wine that makes you want another glass. Perfect for those looking to discover quality natural wine or who want a different kind of Burgundy .
