Jean-Yves Devevey

Jean-Yves Devevey is a winemaker operating out of the quaint village of Demigny, nestled on the northern edge of the Saône-et-Loire department in southern Burgundy. His small estate spans 8 hectares, half of which are family-owned. Jean-Yves embodies the archetypal vineyard expert. His deep-rooted philosophy in viticulture stresses the importance of natural farming methods, avoiding chemicals to cultivate superior quality grapes. By 2014, his dedication to these principles earned his wines an organic certification.

“Describing Jean-Yves as thorough and diligent would be an understatement;”

he is perhaps one of the most unassuming winemakers one could encounter. This modesty, coupled with the relatively small scale of his domaine, may explain why his wines remain under the radar within the industry. Devevey's wines encapsulate the essence of what makes Burgundy wines so cherished: they are clean, sophisticated, and truly reflective of their terroir, offering a delightful drinking experience. These wines are enjoyable in their youth yet possess the structure to age beautifully. Characterised by their vibrant freshness, richness from low yields, and expressive nature right from the start, Devevey's creations are a testament to his meticulous care and passion for winemaking.
