Domaine Derain Dominique

Dominique Derain, by dint of hard work and conviction in his ideas, has forged - with reason - the image of a precursor who influenced many young winegrowers.
Skilful winemaker and fine connoisseur of terroirs, he knows how to read like no one the relationship between terroir and vine and the contribution of biodynamics to support the link between the plant and its environment.
With him no artifice or make-up, the wines are in his image, sincere and authentic. Carole and Julien Altaber have taken up the torch since 2016 (Dominique Derain's faithful right-hand man since 2002), brilliantly preserving the "Derain's paw". Fresh, gourmet and digestible juices. All without suffering or almost. Julien has also thought a lot about aging in order to extend them to bring even more balance and complexity to the wines.
