Domaine Pierre Naigeon Mazys-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018

Mazys-Chambertin is one of nine Grands Crus in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation of the Cote de Nuits. Located on a gentle slope, the vineyard faces east and the Pinot Noir vines are trained according to the Guyot method. The old and low yielding vines are 75-years old and have complex, deep root systems, which produce concentrated juice. The soils are made up of Premeaux limestone covered by a thin top soil. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably, encouraging the ecology of the vineyard and promoting the biodiversity and health of the soils. The cool climate experiences hot summers and cold winters, with warm days and cool nights during the ripening period. These diurnal temperature differences encourage good accumulation of sugars and flavours, balanced by natural freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested into small crates of just six kilograms, to preserve the quality of the fruit.
