A Bourgogne Blanc from Domaine Derain's biodynamic estate in Saint-Aubin, Burgundy — pale gold, precise, and mineral, with lemon zest, white flowers, and a silky texture that reflects the careful farming and restrained cellar work that defines the domaine.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with bright luminous reflections. Fresh citrus, white flowers, and crisp pear on the nose, layered with subtle almond, chalk, and delicate oak. Clean, focused, and silky on the palate with lemon zest, green apple, and stone fruit merging with fine minerality and gentle creaminess. The finish is elegant, refreshing, and classically Burgundian in its balance and purity. Village-level Burgundy made with Grand Cru attention.
