Pierre Naigeon, Pinot Noir, Bourgogne "Grands Champs" Burgundy, France 2018

You could consider this an "entry level" Gevrey-Chambertin. The wine is produced from vines 50+ years old planted along the Gevrey Chambertin Appellation Controlée area. Grapes are hand picked and sorted, followed by a traditional vinification using indigenous yeasts. Aged for nine months in French oak barrels, then bottled using gravity. No fining or filtration in order to preserve all the natural qualities of the wine.

The Naigeon family estate has been situated in Gevrey-Chambertin in the prestigious region of Côte de Nuits for more than 150 years. Today, Pierre Naigeon uses green agriculture, and continually researches methods to elicit the perfect expression of each grape varietal in order to produce wines full of fragrance, both delicate and powerful, which reveal the best of the terroirs. He also only makes single-vineyard wines that are vinified and bottled separately, without fining or filtration, to guard the pure expression of each terroir.
