Saint Aubin "En Vesvau", Dominique Derain (Burgundy, France) NV

Special Chardonnay.. 2 barrels of the rich 2018 vintage and half a barrel (the total harvest) from 2019, a vintage with plenty of acidity but which was largely destroyed before it began by frost in mid April and early May. It’s an extraordinary wine, from a plot just to the east of the village of Gamay. Below it are the 1er cru wines of Saint-Aubin and it’s interesting that despite it being a Saint-Aubin village appellation, Carole and Julien have priced this wine the same as their Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, which is a little further south, closer to Puligny-Montrachet
