Numa Cornut
Numa Cornut Winery is a family-run estate with a winemaking heritage spanning nine generations. Focused on terroir-driven wines, the winery blends tradition with modern techniques.
Numa Cornut studied viticulture, oenology, and wine marketing, gaining experience with the ADVINI Group in Languedoc and Rhône Valley, including Ogier Châteauneuf-du-Pape. He has also worked in Bordeaux, Switzerland, and Australia, refining his approach to winemaking. Drawing inspiration from his experiences in Europe and Australia, as well as the ancestral knowledge passed down by his parents, Numa crafts wines that express his winemaking journey—a journey that spans generations and continents, rooted in Burgundy’s timeless terroir.
The winery practices sustainable viticulture with minimal intervention. Working with indigenous yeasts, Numa embraces the unique mosaic of Burgundian terroirs, prioritizing terroir over extraction. The vineyards, set on clay-limestone and marl soils, provide the ideal structure and drainage for producing expressive wines. The clay-limestone terroir of Côte de Beaune results in wines with minerality, red fruit aromas, and freshness, while the Côte de Nuits, with its higher clay content, produces deeper, darker-fruit wines with more significant density and tannic structure.
In the cellar, Numa minimizes the use of new oak, allowing the wines to age patiently and develop their unique character. He refrains from filtration to preserve the specific aromas of each terroir, ensuring that every bottle truly reflects its origin.

Numa Cornut Meursault
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Aging: 10 months in oak
Meursault is Burgundy’s top white wine villages, which lies in the prestigious Côte des Blancs, south of Beaune. Its vines grow on east-facing slopes at 230–360m, benefiting from optimal sunshine and excellent drainage. The vineyard’s soils are varied: deep and coloured around the village, lighter and lighter on the mid-slope and almost white and very stony at the highest elevations. The result is a refined, golden wine with aromas of honey, lime blossom, and hazelnut butter, finishing with notes of yellow plum and gingerbread. It pairs beautifully with seared scallops, roasted white fish, grilled asparagus with hollandaise, or Brie de Meaux, balancing freshness and depth.
Numa Cornut Nuits Saint Georges

Aging: 15 months in oak
This Nuits-Saint-Georges, with its deep ruby color, offers a spicy nose of clove, nutmeg, black cherry, and toasty notes. On the palate, it’s full-bodied with cherry and licorice flavors, silky tannins, and a fresh finish. A perfect match for roasted duck, grilled beef, lamb chops, wild mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses like Comté and Epoisses, this wine beautifully captures the essence of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroir.
Numa Cornut Pommard
Blend: 100% Pinot Noir
Aging: 10 months in oak
A true gem of Burgundy, this Pommard stuns with its vibrant red hue and bold aromas of black cherry, spice, and a touch of leather.
