Adored by the greatest Michelin star chefs, Denis Jeandeau has become a true phenomenon. Régis Marcon, Le Pré Catelan, Lameloise, l'Arpège, l'Ambroisie, Guy Savoy, to name but a few, have his wines on their wine lists. The young winemaker has always been very attentive and rigorous in his winemaking style and has chosen to produce only a limited number of elite wines with a very selective distribution.
Very much in demand since our last sale, which convinced Burgundy amateurs everywhere, our long-lasting partnership and friendship with this wonderful winemaker has enabled us to score some more allocations. That is why we are honored to present to you today his new 2020 vintage on two beautiful wines, but be warned, there definitely won’t be enough for everyone!
