The queen of Hautes Côtes flowers

Claire is no longer a household name, as her wines are now world-renowned. And yet, with hindsight, we can only salute the progress made by the woman who, before anyone else, believed in these forgotten or at least poorly-regarded terroirs of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Nuits;

By dint of her hard work, she has raised her now-famous "cuvées fleurs" to the top of their respective appellations, and paved the way for all those young, natural winemakers who, every year now, bring out incredible nuggets from these once underestimated terroirs.

Once again, in this 2022 vintage, Claire's Pinot Noirs are perfectly harmonious, full of finesse and delicacy. She has also chosen to be as patient as possible before offering her wines, and this choice is a credit to her: longer ageing, patience, listening to her soil and her grapes, there's no secret. In fact, we strongly encourage you to follow Claire on her networks. She regularly publishes on her experiments and reflections, particularly in relation to climate change, and it's always fascinating.

Claire has significantly reduced the proportion of new oak in all her cuvées. The wines have become even more taut and fresh.

Please note: given the popularity of Claire Naudin's wines, we have had to limit the number of cuvées so that as many people as possible can enjoy them. Please respect these limitations and do not place multiple orders. These will be cancelled.
