- An expressive nose of peach and yellow fruits leads to a balanced palate revealing a lovely depth of fruit and pure varietal characteristics. Fresh and zesty, with a taut structure and a mouthwatering, saline finish.
The grapes come from selected parcels in the Burgundy appellation where the soils are white limestone scree covered by white marl, which produce fresh and elegant wines. The climate is continental: cool winters allow the vine to rest, while warm summers days are tempered by cool nights, encouraging the vines to produce balanced fruit with concentrated flavours and refreshing natural acidity. The vineyard is certified organic and is cultivated with utmost respect for the environment and the balance of the soils, flora and fauna. Herbicides and insecticides are not used; instead the vines are
cultivated using natural preparations. The vines are hand-harvested when the grapes have reached optimal maturity.
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 an extraordinary quality, maturity and concentration.
