DOMAINE NUDANT WINES

ABOUT THE WINE
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 vines for this Bourgogne are situated in the village of Ladoix-Serrigny.

TASTING NOTES
An underrated gem of a village in the Cote de Beaune, Ladoix is famed for providing a stunning balance of tart red fruits and riper black fruits, a rarity for reasonably priced elegant red Burgundies. The first whiff of cranberries, raspberries and heirloom strawberries is captivating immediately. What comes next is the elegant savouriness of sage, rosemary and sautéed chestnut mushrooms. The light, but velvety tannins linger on the long finish.

FOOD PAIRING
Confit quail legs with roasted butternut squash, and sage butter gnocchi.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
An off-piste appellation which offers excellent value from some very impressive vineyard sites.

ABOUT THE WINE
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.

TASTING NOTES
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.

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

FRIARWOOD SAYS
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.

Vineyard work is all carried out by hand, in the spirit of minimal intervention. The vines for this Bourgogne are situated in the village of Ladoix-Serrigny.

TASTING NOTES
Fresh, fruity, juicy Pinot Noir, with intensity derived from low-yielding old vines. Red fruit aromas, with bright strawberry and cherry on the palate, and a subtle hint of savoury spice on the finish.

FOOD PAIRING
White meat, like chicken, and grilled root vegetables. Veal would also pair very well – try this with saltimbocca.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
Easy-going, flavoursome Bourgogne rouge, from vines over 50 years of age in a village at the northernmost point of the Côte de Beaune. 10 000 bottles produced.

ABOUT THE WINE
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. This wine comes from four vineyards, with vines over 50 years of age, which have been harvested by the Domaine since 2006.

TASTING NOTES
A brilliant vintage for Burgundy, 2020 offers the best potential of every village. Vosne-Romanée surely shows its peak quality and ripeness as a top-quality village. Notes of bramble and blackberry with both red and dark cherries. The staggering complexity with white pepper, wet forest floor, sauteed mushrooms and the warm cinnamon bark from the oak marry impeccably.

FOOD PAIRING
Rack of lamb with herb crust or smoked mackerel rillets.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
This is drinking very well already, but it will probably show best at least 5 years from vintage.

TASTING NOTES
A delicate expression of Ladoix, with a cherry-forward fruit character supported by raspberry compote, fresh forest mushrooms and red plums. The elegant complexity is evident in the long fruity and savoury finish.

FOOD PAIRING
Pairs brilliantly with honey roast turkey, pheasant with black peppercorn jus and veal osso buco.

TASTING NOTES
An impeccable vintage, 2019 Burgundies show opulent and exuberant red and dark fruits, with a balanced zingy acidity still in play. Ladoix, being a more elegant village, offers the best of both worlds by providing the quintessential savoury notes of mushrooms and forest floor. But this time, the ripeness of 2019 makes this wine extra attractive to sip, even by itself. One to drink now or to age for another decade.

FOOD PAIRING
Excellent with honey-roasted pork shoulder and braised root vegetables as well as a lamb leg bourguignon.
