Sextant - En Chapon 2020
Bourgogne | white, dry |
Vibrant, salty and very dry. Thats how we like our Chardonnay.
An elegant Chardonnay with a minimalist, almost salty style, waiting for a partner in the form of fresh oysters. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in used oak barrels.

Burgundy, Saint Aubin
This kind and friendly Frenchman helped winemaker Dominic Derain for more than 10 years, adopted his philosophy of natural wines and started creating his own, even bolder, sulphur-free and filtration-free wines in his cellar under the name Sextant. His aim is not spectacular, but true wine. And while he has Chardonnays and Pinots in fairly classic forms, macerated Aligoté and Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir cuvées with Gamay, and wild pét-nats seem like rebellions among Burgundian classics, but are in demand at renowned establishments across Europe. Julien now barrel ages both his own wines and those from the vineyards of Dominic Derain, who recently entrusted his production entirely to Julien. Both brands remain faithful to biodynamics and small batches from extremely interesting crus of great quality.
