Historical and family-owned, the Domaine Nudant has asserted itself generation after generation on the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits, rigorously exploiting the most beautiful parcels of the region on mythical appellations such as Vosne-Romanée, Puligny, Meursault and the hill of Corton. The wines are beautiful representations of their terroirs and are created with infinite care, with the utmost respect for the vineyard and nature.

The estate is fortunate to own and operate a small parcel of Échezeaux Grand Cru, the pride of the Côte de Nuits region. Located above the Clos Vougeot, this mythical appellation is a dream for wine lovers and finds, thanks to the Nudant family, one of its best expressions through this wine.
