Maison Yves Duport
Yves Duport is the 4th generation running this 12ha estate in the southern part of the Bugey appellation. A firm believer in a non -interventionist approach, Yves banned any chemical since 2007, converting to organic and now using also biodynamic principles.
His wines are the perfect expression on the rugged terroir of Bugey: fresh, dynamic and full of energy, with intense minerality, savouriness and a joyously elegant drinking feel.
