Winemakers in Burgundy since 1453, the current generation of the Nudant family manages some 16 hectares of small parcels dotted throughout the Cote d’Or. Vineyard work is all carried out by hand, in the spirit of minimal intervention. The “Santenots” vineyard is located in the southern part of Volnay, near the village of Meursault. The particular structure of the soil makes the “Santenots” a very aromatic and elegant wine, delicately complex and concentrated all at the same time.

Delicate violet and red berry fragrance, with a hint of oak. Delightful on the palate, with spicy mingling with red cherry fruit in perfect balance. Impressive structure for long-term ageing, but excellent at the moment, especially with food.

Excellent for rich dishes – duck, always the classic pairing for Pinot noir, would be ideal.

The section of the Santenots vineyard which contributes to this wine is farmed by the Nudant family under a rolling contract, and therefore counts as a negociant wine – hence “Jean-Rene Nudant” on the label.
