- An elegant single vineyard Pinot Noir, showing notes of wild red fruits complemented by delicate hints of violet. Charming on the palate, with supple tannins and layers of truffle, liquorice and tobacco underpinning strawberry and raspberry notes. 2019 has been cited as an outstanding vintage and one of the best in recent years. The dry, warm conditions produced low yields of impeccably balanced, concentrated wines with refined freshness and remarkable purity. A mild winter followed a chilly spring, with frosts affecting some areas. Cooler temperatures in June resulted in uneven flowering and some millerandage in some vineyards. However, temperatures soared in July and August with vines under hydric stress, resulting in superb concentration and complexity of flavours.
The soils are Bresse marl, covered with sandy alluvial layers. The continental climate has cold winters and warm summers, with cool nights, allowing the vines to produce balanced fruit with natural freshness. The vines are converted to organic status; weeds are controlled by soil cultivating, and chemical herbicides are not used. Only organic and natural products are employed to protect the vines against insects. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity.

Winery | Pierre Naigeon is a leading and renowned producer in the Côtes de Nuits. The Naigeon family has been established in Gevrey-Chambertin for over 150 years. They acquired some vines and started to produce wine in 1890. The estate remained reasonably small until 2003, when Pierre purchased more land, increasing their holdings to 11.5 hectares. Pierre Naigeon believes passionately in sustainable farming without the use of herbicides. He believes in non-interventionist winemaking and aims to produce wines full of fragrance, revealing the natural terroir. The average age of his vines is remarkably high, mostly over 50 years, which endows the wines with extraordinary quality, maturity and concentration. |
