This Aligoté cuvée stands out for the special care taken during its aging, with an extended time in barrel. 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.

Derain Estate
Before “natural” became a buzzword in Burgundy, Derain was already practicing it. The style is serene: gentle Pinots, unassuming Chardonnays, subtle aging. No abrupt gestures. The wines unfold in the glass with an almost meditative restraint. To put it simply: they whisper. And that is precisely what makes them beautiful.
