Domaine Derain Saint-Aubin En Vesvau NV
Regular price $186.00
This wine is made from chardonnay grapes picked from the En Vesvau plot of land in the Saint Auban commune that is fast becoming recognised as one of the best areas in Burgundy for white wines. Some of the lieux dit here abut those of the very famous Montrachet vineyards.
The yield is relatively low at 38 hectolitres per hectare. The grapes are picked by hand and placed carefully in small boxes to avoid crushing the fruit. After crushing the juice is left to ferment using the complex natural yeasts that collect on the fruit.
The wine is both powerful and elegant making it perfect for aging – however it is also drinking very nicely now. - Living Wines, importer
