THE COMPANY

The Domaine Derey Frères has never had a more apt name. The three brothers Maxime, Romain and Pierre-Marie now represent the sixth generation, more committed than ever to their terroir, driven by a deep passion and an unbreakable bond with their homeland. The vine inspires humility, dedication and family work: the three brothers spend most of their time with their feet on the ground and their hands in the cellar. The Domaine covers 20 hectares, spread over a series of climats stretching from Dijon to Gevrey-Chambertin, forming a mosaic of unique parcels. In addition to the famous Clos des Marcs d’Or, the estate’s prestigious single vineyard, the Montre Cul and Les Valendons climats are eminent ambassadors of Dijon’s viticulture, bearing witness to a centuries-old history and heritage that the brothers proudly preserve. In 2020, the Domaine embarked on a determined conversion to organic farming. Through the targeted use of treatments, ploughing and the addition of natural nutrients, the vitality of the soil is preserved. Vinification is meticulous, with slow maceration for reds and gentle pressing for whites, so as to best express the character of each parcel. The result is white and red wines that reflect the three brothers: instinctive, direct and spontaneous, offering immediate pleasure, with fruit that dominates without severity, combined with an appealing freshness and excellent ageing potential.

Côte de Nuits

The Côte de Nuits covers the approximately 20 km from the northern limit of the AOC Marsannay to the southern limit of the AOC Cote de Nuits-Villages, in the municipality of Corgoloin. More body, greater longevity and more intense color distinguish a Cote de Nuits wine in comparison with a Volnay or Beaune. This is a red wine area with some incredible exceptions in white. The band of Premier Cru that winds along the hills of the Cote de Nuits is intersected by patches of Grand Cru. These are the wines that express with greater intensity the inimitable vigorous richness and elegance of pinot noir. The vineyards extend along the band of marly rock outcropping below the hard limestone hilltop.
