Domaine Derain Mercurey La Plante Chassey 2022

Dominique Derain started his career making wine barrels before studying winemaking in Beaune.
In 1988 he and his wife purchased 5.5 hectares of vineyards in Saint-Aubin just south of Beaune and began tending the vines biodynamically. The vines are located around the hill of Montrachet and in the combe de Saint-Aubin. Manure, silica and other plant-based preparations are used. The Saint-Aubin appellation is one of the hidden secrets of Burgundy because the vineyards border those of the premier crus of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The wines are certified biodynamic by Ecocert and have been certified since 1989.
