About The Wine

This delicious premier cru Chardonnay is made from vines in the En Remilly lieu dit which lies on the rocky, sunny slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet.

The En Remilly climat lies at the southern end of the village of Saint-Aubin and crosses the boundary into Chassagne-Montrachet where it is also a premier cru vineyard with the same exposure and the same rocky limestone soil.

This makes these premier cru wines some of the best value in Burgundy because they share the same terroir as the very famous Chassagne-Montrachet vines which are regarded as some of the best white wines in Burgundy.

The yield is relatively low at 38 hectolitres per hectare.

The wine is both powerful and elegant as well as having great aromatic purity making it perfect for aging – however it is also drinking nicely 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.
