Biodynamic PracticingNaturalHautes-Cotes de Nuits

Yann Durieux founded Recrue des Sens in 2010 after a decade at Prieure-Roch. He farms biodynamically and makes low-intervention wines from Aligote and Pinot Noir with native yeasts and no additions, a reference for natural Burgundy.

Tip: Allocations are tiny and move through natural-wine specialists; the Aligote cuvee Love and Pif is the calling card.

Yann Durieux's Recrue des Sens makes wines with no added sulphur and no other cellar additions, fermenting with native yeasts. The bottlings sit at the zero-zero, low-sulfite end of Burgundy's natural-wine spectrum.

Tip: Low-sulfite wines are sensitive to heat and travel; buy from a temperature-controlled natural-wine merchant and drink within a few years.
