Marsannay is the northernmost appellation in the Cotes de Nuits, neighbouring Fixin. It is the only appellation that has AOC status for the production of red, white, and rose wine. The vineyard has an eastern orientation and is 255 to 390 metres above sea level. The Guyot-trained old vines are 50 years old and have developed deep root systems nourished by complex soil layers. The soils are diverse, predominantly sandy marl and mica, with white pockets of limestone and red, iron-rich soils. 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. |
