This cuvée comes from a vineyard adjacent to Puligny-Montrachet and is the result of meticulous winemaking. After a gentle harvest, the grapes are pressed immediately, and fermentation proceeds naturally using indigenous yeasts. Six months of aging on the lees in tanks enhances the wine’s complexity. Clarity and purity are preserved through the absence of clarification and minimal filtration.

Domaine Derain
Before "natural" became a buzzword in Burgundy, Derain was already practicing it. The style is serene: gentle Pinots, tranquil Chardonnays, subtle aging. No abrupt movements. The wines evolve in the glass with an almost meditative sobriety. In short: they whisper. And that is precisely what makes them beautiful.
