Numa Cornut Volnay

Numa, a winemaker with 9 generations of family history in winemaking and extensive experience in various regions like Bordeaux, Chateauneuf du Pape, Australia and Switzerland, has found his passion in Burgundy. He has chosen to focus on making wines from Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits, with vines planted between 1985 and 1992 to create pure and elegant wines. His wines are aged with patience and maturity, allowing their unique character to shine without being overpowered by oak elements. Numa’s small project, starting with 3.5 hectares, is one to watch out for, especially with the addition of Vosne Romanee vines to the farm in the 2023 vintage.

This wine displays a radiant and bright ruby colour. When young, it emits fragrances of violets and blackcurrants. As it ages, it develops notes of ripe fruit, mushrooms, and sweet spices. The palate offers a delightful sensation of roundness and velvety texture thanks to the fine tannins and fresh acidity. The finish, with a touch of vanilla, lingers on the palate.
