Jean-Yves Devevey,
For laying down,
Rich, imperial purple, with a heady, juicy nose, this is quite impressive all the way through. It has a lovely mid-palate, with succulence and unexpected density for what is usually a lighter source. There’s an excellent aftertaste with fruit, tannin and acidity all in balance. Drink 2021-2028.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
Between the hail of 2012, ‘13 and ‘14 and the frost in 2016 the fabulous vintage of 2015 represents an oasis for Jean-Yves, who began to pick on 7th September. He thinks these are the best red wines of his career, and they feature a majority of whole-bunch vinification for the first time, while the whites have been progressing very well in barrel. Yields are still very low all round, but the wines are correspondingly concentrated.

From humble beginnings, Jean-Yves Devevey has developed a small but perfectly formed domaine making both red and white wines.
Jean-Yves started with a small holding of basic Bourgogne Rouge and Aligoté from modest locations and nothing but a shed behind the house to work in. Through hard work and considerable skill he has built up a successful business, part vigneron, part merchant, with a properly equipped cuverie and cellar to hand.
To supplement his own holdings Yean-Yves buys grapes from a small number of conscientious growers including one excellent source in Chassagne Montrachet, noted for its well constructed fine white wines
There are few inexpensive white Burgundies to match the quality of his peerless Les Perdrix vineyard. Since 1999 he has also owned half a hectare of Premier Cru Beaune Les Pertuisots where exemplary farming methods have dramatically improved quality each year.
