Claire Naudin Beaune Bellis Perennis 2023
1. Introduction
This wine originates from France, specifically from Burgundy. It is classified under the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune appellation, which is part of the Côte d’Or region. Claire Naudin returned to her family's Domaine Naudin-Ferrand in 1991, fully managing the 22-hectare estate from 1994, after earning degrees in Oenology and Agronomy. The Domaine's philosophy is deeply rooted in Burgundian traditions, but Claire constantly questions conventional practices, focusing on organic agriculture and minimal intervention. She seeks to let the terroir express itself by avoiding systematic chemical treatments, using indigenous yeasts, and often bottling without fining or filtration and with minimal to no added sulphur.
2. Wine Description
'Bellis Perennis' is part of Claire Naudin's 'Flower Series' and is named after the daisy flower that grows in the vineyard site, which is called 'En Daisey'. The wine comes from a tiny plot of Chardonnay in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune.
Colour: Deep yellow.
Aroma: Tasters have noted a discrete nose with notes of ginger and lemon. Other descriptors for the vintage include a slight ferrous note, floral notes (white flowers), pale lemon, and baking batter. Some critics have noted a "funky" quality with hints of yogurt and apple pie.
Palate: The mouth is often described as having crisp, fresh acidity and real tension. Flavour notes can include Meyer lemon, grape, sour apple, and concentrated lemon. There is a sense of bright, energetic juice.
Body: The wine is generally described as medium bodied but not concentrated or thick.
Finish: It has a lightly sour apple finish, a focused finish, and a salty, limestone infused aftertaste.
Varietal composition: The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay.
Stylistic notes: This is a wine that exhibits a natural style. It is precise, has excellent length, and is known for its zip and energy. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in barrique for 15 months, and the wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined with no sulphur added.
ABV: 13.0%.
Organic: The vineyards are cultivated according to organic methodologies.
