Durif is part of the long-anticipated release of Yves Cuilleron’s “Anciens Cépages” project, the masterwork of a genius who woke up several decades ago with intellectual questions about the character of six forgotten varietals, some of which were later evolved to build the Northern Rhone’s vinous landscape as we know it.
Durif is the varietal that is also known as Petit Sirah.
Early wine growers planted Durif mistakenly in California as Syrah (they made a mistake when selecting their cuttings).
There used to be a ton of Durif in Cote Rotie, Saint Joseph, and Crozes Hermitage in the late 18th century. Initially, there were 500 hectares of productive Durif planted in the Northern Rhone in 1880. Today, you’ll find just 2 hectares, most of which is used for today’s wine!
