Magnum Saint Aubin white 1er cru Les Combes au Sud 2013 Domaine Derain

A mature, rare, and refined white Burgundy

The Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Combes au Sud 2013 from Domaine Derain, here in magnum format, is a gem for fans of finely crafted and time-honed Chardonnay. This gently sloping terroir, nestled between Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet, gives rise to tense, elegant, and deep wines. In this cool-climate vintage, the cuvée reveals a crystalline finesse and remarkable aromatic complexity.

From biodynamically farmed vines, vinified without additives or filtration, this Saint-Aubin displays a subtle nose of candied citrus, lemon zest, dried flowers, and toasted hazelnut. Its evolution brings notes of beeswax, warm stone, and a delicate smoky touch.

On the palate, the wine impresses with its lively, tense, almost saline structure, supple texture, and persistent finish, displaying beautiful verticality. The magnum format, rare for this vineyard and vintage, has perfectly preserved the wine over time.

Enjoy it now for its fullness, or cellar it for a few more years. A magical pairing with roasted sea bass, langoustine risotto, or aged hard cheese.
