Domaine Derain Chut... Derain Method Traditionnelle Sparkling NV

This is the first time we have had this wine. Although it is a méthode traditionnelle sparkling, it cannot be labelled as a Crémant de Bourgogne because the requirement is for that appellation is at least 30% Pinot Noir or Chardonnay and this, happily, is 100% Aligoté.

It comes from a plot in the commune of Corpeau which lies just to the south-east of the town of Saint-Aubin where Carole and Julien have their winery.

The soil here is clay and chalky limestone, a combination which supports acidity and freshness making the grapes very suitable for this type of vinification.

It was aged for 12 months sur lattes, disgorged but with no dosage. - Living Wines
