{"id":3152,"count":3,"description":"<div class=\"winery_description\">\r\n<p><div class='row'><div class='column'> Julien Altaber comes from Auvergne, south of Burgundy. After working in Beaujolais and M\u00e2connais, he began working with and for Dominique and Catherine Derain at their eponymous domaine in Saint Aubin in 2002. The two of them set him an example of natural viticulture and identified him with biodynamic methods. Ultimately, it is a way of life as a farmer if you want to internalise and live out this rhythm - both privately and in viticulture. Julien has absorbed this knowledge like a sponge.<\/p>\r\n<p>Early on, Julien had his own winery - <strong>Sextant<\/strong> - and initially worked with purchased grapes. The vinification always took place in the Derains' cellar. Slowly but steadily, his side project grew. Sites were bought, equipment was purchased and finally, in 2013, a cellar was taken over.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the meantime, he is on the verge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/dominique-derain\/\" title=\"Domaine Derain Wines\">Domaine Derain<\/a> from Dominique. However, both wineries will continue to operate under their own names. Because the styles are cardinally different. Derain could rather be described as classical.<\/p>\r\n<h2 id=\"weinstil-von-sextant\">Sextant wine style<\/h2>\r\n<p>At Sextant, on the other hand, Julien exhausts the possibilities. Clear, precise wines from Aligot\u00e9, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay. <\/div> <div class='column secondcolumn'><\/p>\r\n<p>He is also very fond of wines that are fermented on the skins, oxidised or left completely natural. The range is wide. The profiles are diverse.<\/p>\r\n<p>His goal is not to compete with the big names of the region. He pursues completely different goals. Honest, authentic wines that show the grape variety and origin without being influenced by wood. And he masters this in white as well as in red. He can draw on vines from the most famous places in Burgundy, but his style is extremely independent, not interchangeable and full of character.<\/p>\r\n<p>His wines provide a reasonable entry point, especially in times when prices in Burgundy seem to be exploding. Whether it's the classic Chardonnay from the small wooden barrel from Saint-Aubin or its <strong>Pet Nat<\/strong> made from Aligot\u00e9 fermented on the skins for twelve months.<\/p>\r\n<p>He intervenes as little as possible in the wine-making process. The healthy grapes come from top vineyards and this is the greatest blessing for him. <strong>Sulphur is not added to any of his wines.<\/strong> Julien strives to produce wholesome, straightforward wines that are great drinking pleasure. \r\n<p><small class='winery_description_auhor'>Text and wine expertise: Marian Hen\u00df.<\/small><\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>","link":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/sextant-julien-altaber\/","name":"Sextant - Julien Altaber","slug":"sextant-julien-altaber","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":9181,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sextant - Julien Altaber \u2013 Naturweine in Bioqualit\u00e4t<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gro\u00dfe Auswahl &amp; vollst\u00e4ndiges Sortiment: Sextant - Julien Altaber.
