Derey Frères deserves its name now more than ever. Maxime (31), Romain (30) and Pierre-Marie (27) now represent the sixth generation of the family, and are more devoted to their land than ever. They are more than aware of what it means to be part of a Burgundian winery, and to have their name on the label. The vines inspire humility and the deep-rooted family ethos of hard work. Rather than wax lyrical about the infinite subtleties of their wines, they are more likely to have their feet in the soil alongside their employees (Nicolas and Carine) Pierre Derey is never far away either, keeping a close eye on the three brothers as they continue the family business. He never misses a beat, striding effortlessly between flexibility and assured experience. In any case, this man of few words has already told them what they need to know: “Make whatever wines you want, but stand behind them!” The Derey Frères estate covers 20 hectares, scattered over a string of different “climats” from Dijon to Gevrey-Chambertin. the Domaine is today in Organic farming.
