Dominique Derain

This winemaker is an exceptional phenomenon. Despite his great achievements for viticulture in Burgundy, he shows absolute understatement. Dominique Derain belongs to the first guard of biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy, besides Madame Bize-Leroy, who was active for the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti at that time. Many followed, but these two started the ball rolling.

The Domaine Derain has always been synonymous with a very filigree style of the Chardonnay. The wines rather live from ethereal notes. Herbal aromas, finesse and minerality always came before fruit, power and wood. The Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru expresses this idea to perfection.
