Using techniques of the intrinsic $\\Gamma_2$-calculus, we prove the sharp estimate $\\lambda\\geq (p-1)\\pi_p^p/D^p$ for the principal eigenvalue of $L_p$ with Neumann boundary conditions under the assumption that $L$ satisfies the curvature-dimension condition BE$(0,N)$ for some $N\\in[1,\\infty)$.
