Love and Pif 2020 – Domaine Recrue des Sens

Love and Pif – Domaine Recrue des Sens

Love and Pif is a white wine from the Hautes-Côtes-de-nuits, in the Côte d’Or. It is produced with Aligotè, which Yann Durieux has known through care both in the vineyard and in the cellar to give it momentum and elegance. The vines with an average age of 40 years, are located on the opposite side to those of Romanèe Conti, on clay-limestone soils, with south-east exposure, at 400 m.s.l.m. The vinification is spontaneous with autochthonous yeasts, after which it is refined one year in steel and one year in wooden barrels. The Love and Pif has a surprising length and structure, with beautiful freshness and fruity and mineral notes.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but magnificently holds the time.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif, with seafood appetizers, preparations based on oysters, freshwater / salt water fish with sauces / roasted snails.

Winery: Domaine Recrue Des Sens

Yann Durieux is a young winemaker who is surely leaving his mark in Burgundy! His domaine is called Recrue des Sens, which he founded in 2010 with the purchase of a vineyard of only 2.5 in hautes-côtes-de-nuits, in the Côte d’Or. After graduating in oenology he worked for the most important producers of natural wines of the Borgogn, from Julien Guillot of the domaine du Vigne de Maines, to Domaine Prieure Roch where he learned to know and make wine the three noble varieties of the Borgogna: pinot noir , chardonnay and aligotè. Today the domaine includes 9 hectares, some of which are owned, others for rent, all of which are processed according to the dictates of natural viticulture and with medium-low yields. All the wines of Recrue des Sens are characterized by purity of style, delicacy and their elegance. Among them the "Love and Pif" stands out, one of the most interesting Aligotes produced in Borgogna!
