Claire Naudin Nuits St Georges Premier Cru 2023
1. Introduction
This wine originates from France, in the Burgundy region, more specifically the Côte de Nuits and the Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru appellation. Claire Naudin returned to the family's Domaine Henri Naudin Ferrand in 1994, adopting a philosophy of sustainable viticulture and low intervention. She favours indigenous yeasts and minimal sulphur use, which allows her wines to express the remarkable purity and sincerity of the terroir.
2. Wine Description
Varietal composition: This Nuits Saint Georges is made from 100% Pinot Noir. The wine is often made using whole bunch fermentation.
Colour: The wine often displays a bright, clear ruby colour.
Aroma: The nose offers intense aromas of flowers and red fruits. These are often complemented by notes of dark spice and forest floor.
Palate: The palate is both tonic and tender, offering great density and concentration. It presents salty notes and sometimes a subtle hint of charcoal and tapenade on the finish. The texture is supple at first but has a light grip.
Body: The wine is described as ample, fleshy, and powerful, maintaining great balance.
Finish: The palate has a good persistence.
Optimal drinking window: The wine has great ageing potential. Premier Cru Nuits Saint Georges can generally be cellared for 5 to 15 years after the vintage.
Stylistic notes: Stylistically, it is a wine of great elegance and complexity, often showing the power of Nuits Saint Georges with the finesse of Vosne Romanée. It is described as sincere, precise, and alive.
Organic: The vigneronne practices a methodology close to organic ('practicing organic'), avoiding systematic chemical treatments.
