Domaine Derain: Five Cuvées to Explore Burgundy’s Greatest Terroirs

Based in Saint-Aubin and now run by Carole Schwab and Julien Altaber, Domaine Derain produces wines from biodynamically farmed vines, using low-intervention winemaking techniques that emphasize the expression of fruit and terroir.

Bourgogne Les Riaux 2023 is a fresh, airy, and particularly luscious Pinot Noir. Notes of strawberry, raspberry, and undergrowth accompany a fluid palate with delicate tannins. A convivial red, approachable today.

Gevrey-Chambertin En Vosne 2021 comes from old Pinot Noir vines. Deeper and more structured, it reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and earth, prolonged by a lingering finish.

Pommard Les Petits Noizons 2023 combines the character of its appellation with the finesse of the Derain style. Cherry, raspberry, and spices create a taut and elegant wine, with a beautiful presence on the palate and interesting aging potential.

The two Saint-Aubin Premier Crus whites showcase Chardonnay. En Remilly 2022 stands out for its precision, freshness, and long mineral finish. Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 2022, produced from a particularly rocky hillside located above the Grands Crus of Puligny-Montrachet, offers a deep and precise expression of terroir.
