Derain

An organic and biodynamic estate in Saint Aubin: Domaine Derain

The wines of Domaine Dominique Derain : purchase at the best price!

Dominique Derain, a cooper by training, set up his own estate in 1988 at Saint Aubin in Burgundy. The estate is modest in size - just 6 hectares - but has been certified organic since 1989, the date of its first vintage. He left the Demeter association in 1997 because he did not accept the doubling of membership fees, and felt he had nothing to prove. The certificate can therefore no longer appear on its bottles, but the methods used to grow the vines have remained the same.

Biodynamic preparations are used to stimulate the soils of brown clay, crushed marble and ferrous earth, and horse-drawn ploughing is used on certain steep slopes. In December 2016, Dominique Derain retired and handed over his estate to Julien Altaber, who had worked with him for many years. So continuity is assured, and Julien Altaber is an excellent winemaker who has been able to maintain the quality of the wines at Domaine Derain (Julien, advised by Dominique Derain, had in the meantime taken the opportunity to create Domaine Sextant). It's fair to say that Domaine Dominique Derain wines are among the star wines on the wine lists of Parisian bistros. At Domaine Derain, we work in the vineyard and less in the cellar: disbudding, pollarding and trellising. Many sprays are applied using plants, clays, rock powders and even horn dung, to ensure that the grapes are healthy and perfectly ripe. The whole, intact grapes are harvested in crates, without the protection of sulphur. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed (totally or partially), crushed and then put directly into wooden vats for fermentation. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the grapes are pressed and the wine is matured. The fermentation of white Burgundies in oak barrels lasts between 1 and 8 months, after which the juice is left to settle on its fine lees until the next harvest. The red Burgundies are matured in wooden vats for 12 to 18 months. The range of Domaine Derain wines includes a white Vin de France called 'Allez Goûtons blanc', a red Vin de France called 'Allez Goûtons rouge', a Burgundy Aligoté, a Burgundy Chardonnay called 'La Combe', several white and red Saint Aubins, including the famous Premier Cru St Aubin 1er Cru en Rémilly, which is close to the famous Burgundy Grand Cru Montrachet, and whose characteristics make it a superb, racy wine for laying down, approaching the level of certain Puligny Montrachet wines. There's also a Mercurey red, 'la Plante Chassey', which, with a few years in the cellar, will come into its own and satisfy the most demanding fans of biodynamic, input-free wines.
