Domaine Derain Chut … Derain 2023
$97.00
'Although this sparkling wine is made with méthode traditionnelle it cannot be labelled as a Crémant de Bourgogne because the requirement is for at least 30% Pinot Noir or Chardonnay and this, happily, is 100% Aligoté.
This Domaine Derain is quite unusual for a sparkling wine in the Burgundy region at present.
It comes from a plot in the commune of Corpeau which is a commune just north of the village of Chagny and which also borders the amazing terroir of Chassagne-Montrachet. The soil is clay and chalky limestone, a combination supporting 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. 12% ABV. Total sulphites 6 mg/l.'
