    About The Wine

    The Chardonnay grapes in the Domaine Derain Saint-Aubin Blanc were formerly part of the cuvée En Vesvau, but from more gravelly soil, which Julien decided to keep separate. So, the wine is from the Saint-Aubin appellation which is famous for its white wines in particular due to its proximity to Puligny-Montrachet.

    The grapes for this wine are farmed organically and biodynamically to ensure that the fruit is able to be picked in perfect condition and with great juice. At harvest time the grape bunches are hand harvested to ensure that the grapes stay in perfect condition and no sulphur is added to the grapes .

    The whole bunches are pressed (although sometimes Julien decides to partially destem the bunches), fermented using only the natural yeasts that are on or in the grapes and then matured in aged French oak barriques for 12 months before being bottled unfiltered, unsulphured and unfined.

    This is a delicious wine that will drink very nicely for a number of years, but is tasting very nice right now!


    About Domaine Derain

    Domaine Derain offers exceptional value in Burgundy, with 5.5 hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards in Saint-Aubin—a hidden gem bordering the premier crus of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet at a fraction of the price.

    Founded in 1988 by Dominique Derain (a former barrel-maker turned winemaker) and his wife Catherine, the domaine has been certified biodynamic since 1989. Their non-interventionist approach and commitment to natural winemaking has created a reputation for authentic, terroir-driven wines.

    The domaine recently underwent a seamless generational transition, with longtime assistant Julien Altaber and cellar manager Carole Schwab taking ownership. Dominique remains actively involved as mentor, ensuring continuity of quality and philosophy. This new generation brings fresh energy while maintaining the domaine's established standards.

    Wine lovers can expect consistently excellent bottles that represent both exceptional value and the pure expression of Saint-Aubin terroir, crafted by passionate vignerons who understand that great wine begins in the vineyard.
