- A savoury and robust expression of Gevrey Chambertin made without adding sulphites and showing chunky black cherry fruit with an opulent touch of prunes and chocolate.A perfumed and elegant expression of Gevrey-Chambertin with violet and smooth red cherry notes and a lovely freshness. The growing season began with an unusually mild winter, which led to a clement spring. Warm weather during the spring cumulated in an unnaturally warm April, prompting early budburst and flowering. This set the scene for a rapid growing season, with a hot, dry summer and low rainfall resulting in arid conditions. Fortunately, cleansing winds breezed through the vineyards, which helped keep the vines free from disease. Harvest took place earlier than usual due to the warm growing season, and the wines show excellent balance and texture and structure.
The grapes for this cuvee come from the single vineyard Creux Brouillard, which translates as Hollow Fog in English. It is situated at the bottom of the slope, where the deep limestone and clay soils are relatively cool, and it is one of the last vineyards to be harvested in the village. The style from this vineyard tends to be lighter and fresher. Pierre believes in respecting the terroir; he ensures the yields are kept low and follows organic and biodynamic principles, considering the cycles of the moon and the sun.

| 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. |
