Yann Derieux Night Cost Rouge

The palate is dark‑fruited, savoury, and quietly wild, opening with black cherry, mulberry, and macerated raspberry before moving into a deeper, more brooding core of dried herbs, rosehip, and gentle sous‑bois. Acidity is bright and nervy, giving the wine lift and freshness, while tannins are fine, lightly firm, and slightly more assertivethan in La Gouzotte—a subtle Jura grip that adds shape without heaviness. There’s a faint volatile lift, the kind Derieux handles with finesse, bringing aromatic height rather than distraction. Notes of soft spice, crushed stone, and a whisper of savoury funk weave through the mid‑palate, which is silky yet grounded, carrying both purity and earthy nuance.
