Domaine Pierre Naigeon Gevrey-Chambertin 'En Sylvie' 2019
The Gevrey-Chambertin 'En Sylvie' (another single vineyard) is flowers and lace. What finesse and elegance. Open, opulent, rich and running on all cylinders.  Like all great Gevrey: a fist in a velvet glove.

Domaine Pierre Naigeon Marsannay 'Sampagny' 2019
And allow me to end with the biggest surprise of the day. Pierre's Marsannay 'Sampagny' proves the adage that to understand Marsannay you need to know the vineyards. There is such diversity in the soil types in Marsannay. But here, in this single-vineyard 'Sampagny' you get a delicate cover to a magnificently complex wine, graceful and yet full of energy and tension. A great example of what Marsannay can be.   

Domaine Pierre Naigeon Gevrey-Chambertin 'Creux Brouillard' 2019
The Gevrey-Chambertin 'Creux Brouillard' (meaning 'foggy hollow') again, a single-vineyard bottling, produced 3500 bottles in 2018. So Gevrey! So pure and floral and fruity, but with lots of stuffing. Great open bouquet, crisp and juicy fruit, great balance and acidity. And a log finish. That got it a two-star rating in my notes. A rare thing.

Domaine Pierre Naigeon Fixin 1er Cru 'Les Hervelets' 2019
Let's turn to the 'lesser-know appellations'. Pierre has a few gems up to the north of Gevrey, and once again this year we chose his Fixin 1er Cru 'Les Hervelets'. Always a masterpiece wine. Such a wonderful vineyard.  It's different for other Fixin in that its soil is kimmeridgian clay...the same soil that Chablis premier cru is grown on. And year in year out it infuses this parcel with a finesse and a freshness that's almost indescribable. It's chocolate covered black cherries, if you are looking for a snapshot of the attack. And long, long long.
