Jérémy Recchione: Micro Estate but great emotions
It is always with a certain excitement that we present a new domain, especially when the latter has particularly seduced us. Jérémy Recchione has been in love with wine for 10 years now.
In 2010, Jérémy Recchione began working in Burgundy, notably at the Pierre Naigeon estate, where he discovered with wonder the richness and subtlety of the Burgundy climates. He then left for Australia for a few months to explore other horizons and returned to the Côte de Nuits in 2013 where he decided, in parallel with his activity as an employee, to vinify his first grapes bought from winegrower friends. "It is above all a work of passion, that of cultivating and vinifying a natural raw material in order to magnify it to offer a high quality finished product", he explains with this communicative passion.
For 6 years, Jérémy Recchione patiently learned the trade, experimented, listened and refined his technique. And then, in 2019, it's the big leap. He acquired a plot of Burgundy Aligoté “Les Cerisiers” located in the town of Messanges (Hautes Côtes de Nuits) and finally created his estate with a very clear line of conduct.
“The estate’s philosophy is above all to respect nature and what it leaves us with. We work the vines as healthily as possible. The wines are then vinified in a natural way. We sort in the vineyard and harvest in small 5 kilo boxes, which allows us to protect the grapes as much as possible and not to alter them. We only use natural yeasts for the fermentations. We are not adding anything. The use of sulfur is nil or reduced to its maximum. Through our wines, we simply want to bring pleasure and convey an emotion. »
We have been following Jérémy Recchione's wines closely for several years. Already last year, we were particularly seduced by his sulfur-free natural sparkling wines made from the 2017 vintage. But when Jeremy informed us that he had vinified his two beautiful Pinot Noir cuvées in 2022, his Fixin and his Gevrey, completely without sulfur Chambertin, we went to taste without waiting. Unsurprisingly, we were amazed by the precision of these vibrant juices, with impressive purity and precision.
This new 2023 vintage is unsurprisingly a great one. Fruity with a nice freshness. But that doesn't mean it's easy! Jeremy didn't let himself be fooled. Quite the contrary, in fact. Thanks to rigorous de-budding and an unusual green harvest, they were able to control yields and achieve excellent ripeness. Harvesting began in the Mâconnais region on September 5, with the cutting of the Pouilly Fuissé 1er Cru “Clos Reyssier”, the Côte de Nuits village “Les Essards” on September 7 and the Savigny 1er Cru “Les Lavières”. They ended with a plot of Bourgogne Aligoté “Les Cerisiers” on the morning of September 20, in glorious sunshine. The grapes were harvested early in the morning in small crates, then put into cold storage so that the fresh grapes could be put into vats to follow a cold pre-fermentation stage lasting a few days (around 3 days) for the red wines.
We're offering 14 wines, including some fine new additions: a superb Chambolle Musigny village and two new Italian cuvées, a white from the Timorrasso grape and a red from the Nebbiolo variety.
As quantities are minimal, each wine is limited to 1 or 2 bottles per cuvée. Thank you for your understanding.

Derthona Timorasso 2023
Jeremy Recchione€45.00Derthona comes from the Roman name given to Tortone, a town south of Milan. It's a white wine made from the Timorrasso grape variety. From the Piedmont region, Derthona is the DOC neighbor of Barolo with its emblematic Nebbiolo grape. The terroir is clay-limestone on the Derthona hills. This grape variety almost disappeared in the 1960s, in favor of the Cortese variety that produces the wines of the Gavi appellation. Yet it's a grape variety that now wants to compete with its world-famous nebbiolo neighbor. Timorrasso is even considered the future white Barolo.
