About this wine
The early purple orchid grows in the grass between Claire Naudin's oldest vines, Pinot Noir planted in the 1950s on the plateau above the Côte, and gives the cuvée its name. The wine is her manifesto: organic farming, an early harvest for freshness, whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, extraction by infusion, eighteen months in old barrels and a bottling without sulfur, which asks for cool storage and a little patience. 2022 was a warm, generous vintage, and the altitude kept the wine.
Expect redcurrant and raspberry, rose and peony, a stemmy spice and a stony, saline core, silky tannins and a long, weightless finish. Drink now to 2034, slightly cool, with duck, roast poultry, mushrooms or a Cîteaux cheese.
About Claire Naudin
Claire Naudin runs Domaine Naudin-Ferrand in Magny-lès-Villers, on the ridge between the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, an estate her grandfather founded and her father Henri built up. Since taking over in 1994 she has turned it into one of the most quietly radical addresses in Burgundy: organic farming, early picking for freshness, whole clusters, native yeasts, long élevage in old wood and, on the cuvées that carry her own name, no added sulfur at all. The wines are pale, perfumed, low in alcohol and built on the limestone of the high slopes; Orchis Mascula, from old vines, is the one collectors chase.
