A biodynamic Bourgogne Rouge from Domaine Derain's Les Riaux vineyard around Saint-Aubin — light ruby, juicy, and vibrant, with fresh raspberry, cherry, and redcurrant and an easy-drinking energy that makes this the perfect entry point into Derain's natural Burgundy.
Tasting Notes
Light ruby with bright translucent clarity. Fresh raspberry, cherry, redcurrant, and soft floral notes with a hint of spice on the nose. Juicy and lifted on the palate with silky tannins, red fruit freshness, and gentle earthiness. The finish is smooth, vibrant, and wonderfully drinkable. Biodynamic Bourgogne that overdelivers at every price point.
