WINEMAKER: Julien Altaber & Carole Schwab
REGION: Burgundy, FR

"This one is the last of the 3 macerated wines we will happily receive soon from Sextant. This one has been maturing for even longer than the other two and is also made from Chardonnay." - Living Wines
Julien is a thoughtful person who has absorbed the art and the science of winemaking and decided to branch out with his own wines made from grapes sourced from some very good terroirs in the area. Julien and Carole Schwab have now bought the Domaine Derain business in addition to their commitments to the Sextant domaine and will be making the Derain wines from now on (with Dominique still in the background!).
