Features
Cette parcelle exposée sud-sud-est, a été plantée par le grand-père de Dominique Derain il y a une centaine d'années sur une argile fine et profonde.
15 % de pinot beurot (=gris en Alsace) sont assemblés au pinot noir comme cela se faisait traditionnellement.
Les vendanges se font à la main avec transport dans des caisses afin de traiter des raisins entiers et intacts.
Les raisins rouges sont partiellement éraflés et écrasés pour produire du jus. Par-dessus, des raisins intacts sont déposés. Ils fermentent dans des cuves en bois ouvertes traditionnelles. A la fin de la fermentation alcoolique, le marc est transféré dans un pressoir vertical. Les jus de coule et de presse sont assemblés et élevés en fûts usagés.
Pas de collage et de fitration, et un minimum de sulfites.
Cela donne un vin d'une grande finesse, délicat, mais ne manquant pas de fond,

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
