Denis Jeandeau is one of my favorite young Burgundy producers. He does almost everything himself from start-to-finish. In the vineyard, he is farming organically. In the winery, he is by himself vinifying, racking, bottling. When he gets tired of working the soil by hand he borrows his neighbor's horses. It's fascinating to see a winemaker so young and so focused on his dreams. As you might expect, the wines have as much energy as he does.
Denis Jeandeau 'Vieilles Vignes' Pouilly-Fuisse, 2009 (Burgundy, France)
This is a smooth and rich expression of Pouilly-Fuisse, with beautiful leesy notes. From low-yielding vines that are 50+ years old, half tank, half multiple ages of barrels. Natural yeasts.

Denis Jeandeau 'Secret Mineral' 2010 Pouilly-Fuisse (Burgundy, France)
This is one of my favorite bottlings: Denis' 2010 'Secret Mineral.' It' endlessly dense and rich, so much is going on here, and yet there is a smoothness to the whole experience as you drink a glass of this. From vines that are 40+ years, grown on marl/limestone soils.
