Pierre Naigeon believes passionately in sustainable farming. He looks to produce wines full of fragrance, revealing the natural terroir. The vines are grown in the Grand Cru vineyard of Charmes Chambertin, in a 25 hectare parcel of 60 year old, Guyot trained vines. The vineyards are meticulously managed with the use of organic fertilisers; no herbicides or insecticides are used. A sustainable approach is undertaken with ploughing, careful pruning and a green harvest. The vines are grown in clay and limestone soils, which have a significant presence of iron.
Pierre Naigeon is a leading and renowned producer in the Cotes 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.
