Côte de Nuits Village, Chardonnay 2024, Domaine Valeria Naudin

Côtes de Nuits Villages 2024 – Valeria Naudin

Gastronomic finesse • Only 604 bottles • White Burgundy at Meursault level!

Discover one of the most refined and rare wines from the new Burgundy generation.
Valeria Naudin, normally winemaker at Domaine Michel Mallard in Ladoix and lecturer at the Beaune wine school, creates wines in her micro-project that whisper rather than shout—yet with the kind of precision and elegance that immediately places her among Burgundy’s most exciting talents.

Her Côtes de Nuits Villages Blanc 2024 is a mini-sensation:
only 604 bottles, gastronomic, and blind easily mistaken for Meursault.

A unique opportunity, as these wines were almost exclusively destined for the Asian market until now.

Tasting Note – Meursault in Disguise

This 2024 edition immediately shows Valeria’s signature:
an extremely refined, crystal-clear style, with a texture combining silk and chalk.

Aroma

• Subtle white fruit (pear, apple, white peach)
• Blossom, fine citrus, a hint of almond blossom
• A soft, ethereal floral lift

Palate

• Round, soft and fruity at the start
• Followed by tension, precision and chalky freshness
• Clayver ageing gives a pure, crystalline structure without any oak influence
• Remarkable depth for such a small cuvée

Finish

Long, refined, slightly creamy yet mineral and tight – Meursault vibes with Naudin’s elegance.

🧳 The Story Behind Valeria Naudin

Valeria began in 2020 with only 600 bottles of her first Nuits-Saint-Georges La Petite Charmotte.
Since then her project has grown intentionally slowly, with just a few additional plots and micro-cuvées — quality above all.

Her wines were until now almost exclusively allocated to the Asian market.
After multiple visits and plenty of persuasion, it finally succeeded:
Her wines are now available in the Netherlands for the first time.
