This Aligoté cuvée stands out thanks to the meticulous care taken during its aging process, benefiting from extended time in oak barrels. This process fully reveals its character while respecting the integrity of the Aligoté grape, lending the wine finesse and elegance. The wine's subtle nuances are beautifully balanced thanks to the expert management of the estate, now led by Julien Altaber and Carole Schwab, heirs to the tradition established by Dominique Derain.

Domaine Derain
Before "natural" became a buzzword in Burgundy, Derain was already practicing it. The style is serene: gentle Pinot Noirs, tranquil Chardonnays, discreet oak aging. No abrupt gestures. The wines unfold in the glass with an almost meditative restraint. Short sentences: they whisper. And that's precisely what makes them beautiful.
