Catherine & Dominique Derain Saint-Aubin 1er Cru 'En Remilly'
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Grapes: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2020
Catherine and Dominique Derain are true legends in Burgundy, with winemaking careers 40 years long and counting. Starting in the 1970s as a cooper (barrel maker) Dominique worked in famous cellars in Puligny Montrachet, Alsace and Beaujolais before settling in Saint-Aubin where along with wife Catherine he has produced thrilling biodynamic wines since the 1990s.
From the rocky soils of the En Remilly Premier Cru just a stones throiw from Puligny-Montrachet, this is richer and broader than previous vintages reflecting the warm 2020 growing conditions. Toasted hazelnut, brioche and creamy fruit aromas with superb texture and length.
