Binaume - Claire Naudin - La Plante d’à Côté 2022
Domaine Naudin-Ferrand is located in Magny-les-Villers, in the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy . Claire Naudin took over the estate in 1994. A fan of sustainable viticulture and integrated production, she refuses standardization and prefers an artisanal approach to sustainable viticulture, with minimal interventionism but without certification to organic or biodynamic agriculture. The estate covers around 22 hectares of vines, with a few vintages such as Echezeaux, Aloxe, Ladoix, Nuit-Saint-Georges and the rest in regional appellations.
Following the frost of 2016, the original “Plante” vintage was completely destroyed. Claire Naudin therefore created her BiNaume trading activity to vinify grapes from another region in Burgundy. Thus, La Plante d'à Côté is a cuvée made from Pinot Noir , 30% of which comes from mass selection and whose vines were planted in 2013, 200 km west of Beaune. The harvest is manual, in small boxes to avoid crushing the grapes, then transported in refrigerated trucks to Magny-les-Villers where they are placed in vats without adding sulphites. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete vats, with a minimum of extraction and pressing before the end of the alcoholic fermentation to favor the fruit and limit the extraction of tannins.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
