Do you know
Dominique Derain and its wines? He is a unique personality, that behind a Cyrano face and his hilarious goliards
ways, moody and a bit Gascon, betrays a total passion for wine, starting from
the vineyard.
Burgundy, 20 km. south-west of Beaune, his winery is located in the heart
of the village of Saint Aubin, while “Le Ban” is a tiny lieu-dit, a slope, full east exposure, limestone, gravel and clay.
Ruby, brilliant and transparent, enchants the nose, very typical and
classic - it will be understood that it is Pinot Noir? - with vivid expressions
of red fruit - cherry, raspberry, currant, strawberry - a very pronounced spicy
side, enhanced by hints and earthy ferrous.
Even the mouth is rich treasure of flavors, the same of the nose, with a
lot of fruit and spices. A velvet fine texture, equipped with high acidity and
beautiful amplitude, with tannins in balance.
Persistent and high drinkability,
it maintains intact freshness until the end, with good reach, for a clean
palate of spiciness and minerality.
Enjoy it with sautéed duck.
