The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes from a vineyard located on a clay and limestone soil. The vines are cultivated with a focus on sustainability and soil health. The winery adopts careful and meticulous vineyard management, with special care taken to manage diseases and pests naturally, without the use of chemical pesticides.
The vines in the Derrier Chez Eduard vineyard were planted in 1967, and the soil is worked by hand with the utmost care. The winemaking process for Saint Aubin Derrier Chez Eduard 2020 involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in oak barrels, with aging on the fine lees for about 12 months. The wine is then bottled without filtration to best preserve its aromatic complexity.
The end result is an elegant and complex white wine with an intense aroma of white fruit, citrus, notes of butter and vanilla, accompanied by a light mineral note. On the palate, the wine is balanced and harmonious, with a complex structure and a long, lingering finish.
