Hautes Cotes de Nuits Domaine Pierre Naigeon
Winery information: Pierre Naigeon, who inherited this 120-year old estate in the mid-nineties, believes passionately in sustainable farming, without the use of any herbicide.
He looks to produce wines full of fragrance, revealing the natural terroir. The average age of his vines is remarkably high, mostly over 50 years. This ensures deep roots, nourishing the vines from many different lays of soil, to
produce the most complex wines, and reduces the natural level of cropping, providing more concentrated wines.
Vinification: Hand harvest and quality selective picking in the vineyard. Cold maceration for one week then fermentation for 19 days. Ageing from 12 months in oak.
Unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting Note: Beautiful pure expression of fine Pinot Noir fruit with ripe, quite forward red fruit flavours complemented by toasty new oak. Classic and elegant.
Every day serving suggestion: Meat dishes in sauce, squab, poultry.
