Vintage Character From the regional Bourgogne appellation, the 2023 Domaine Naïma & David Didon Bourgogne 'Cuvée Longue' Rouge is a striking showcase of low-intervention winemaking. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy brought warm, sunny conditions that yielded ripe fruit with immediate charm, though meticulous biodynamic management was key to preserving the wine's vibrant acidity. The grapes are sourced from estate vineyards in Chassey-le-Camp, located in the northern Côte Chalonnaise, where Pinot Noir vines thrive on classic limestone and clay soils that impart a distinct mineral clarity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this energetic red reveals bright aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, and violet florals, layered with a subtle wild yeast complexity. The palate is light-to-medium bodied, showcasing crisp acidity and fine, low tannins that carry flavors of sour cherry and earthy underbrush into a clean, mineral-driven finish. Enjoy this expressive wine alongside roasted duck breast with a cherry reduction or a classic Cantonese roasted pigeon.
Winery Background Founded in 2017 by Naïma and David Didon, the estate operates out of a historic 15th-century cellar in Chassey-le-Camp. David brought years of expertise from working at the legendary Domaine de Montille, applying a strict philosophy of intense manual vineyard labor and biodynamic farming. For this "Cuvée Longue," the Pinot Noir undergoes whole-cluster fermentation and an extended barrel aging process without additives, creating a remarkably stable, textured, and pure representation of natural Burgundy.
