An amazing restaurant and hotel!…read more We stayed in the hotel, given that Puligny-Montrachet was a perfect location for a night to be spend during our biking trip on the wine road of Burgundy. On the suggestion of the staff, we reserved a table at their restaurant and were all but disappointed. First off, the cooking here is amazing. The card is not large, like in most good french restaurants. It's basically the Chef's menu + a couple of options. My partner went with the menu and absolutely liked her courgettes crème with soft cheese as well as the fish, whereas I thoroughly enjoyed my meat cocotte (excellent doneness, excellent sauce, excellent potato grattin) and paté en croute with whites for the latter and reds for the former. For the dessert I ordered their chocolate mousse - excellent, although a bit bitter, that paired extraordinarily well with a red advised by their caviste. Finally, to finish the meal I ordered a Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet white. It was absolutely amazing - I enjoyed it for a solid half an hour while my partner was enjoying her Champagne Rosé. Their wine collection deserves a special mention. We were tasting the wines by the glass and were advised on the pairings by the staff wine expert. We were pleasantly surprised by how well of pairings the wine expert was recommending, as well as the general quality of the wines. In fact we liked some of them so much, we ordered several bottles after checking out from the hotel. The service is excellent, but the place is all but cheap (count 80 - 250 for a dinner for two, depending on what you order and the wines by the glass that you will order) and requires a certain dress code. But it's totally worth it. The hotel itself gets bonus point for excellent consumables, calm location and high accessibility of all the common spaces and rooms. Overall, excellent experience. On the expensive side, but worth it, especially if you like wines.

The complexity of flavor and minerality in these wines are fantastic. A biodynamically grown vineyard with manual harvesting, gives way to pneumatic pressing and slow decanting.

In fact in the 80's I got either five or six of the eleven cases imported by Wildman Importers each year. The others went to the owner of the Water Club in Manhattan. It was so difficult to buy a case that liquor store owners would have to buy a 100 cases of Borgogne blanc to get one. I was a lucky man. I also have had all their Puligny Montrachet. I find the Clavoillon my favorite. It has been a joyous relationship with greatness, their wine and my drinking. The winery is open to visits and the tasting room is their restaurant in town. Go. Drink. Eat. Drink the best and now you can stay at their hotel across the street from the tasting room.

I did not know what to expect, but so glad we did it!! I sure agree now, that this is the #1 thing to do in Beaune!! A passionate, knowledgeable, and welcoming husband and wife team introduces you to Burgundy wine, about the region, how to read wine labels, "how to taste Burgundy wines", and food paring. The blind tasting was super fun!! It was the most interesting, educational and fun, eye-opening experience. This is not your typical "wine tasting." I recommend you do this first (when you arrive in Burgundy). The knowledge you'll gain from this tasting experience will benefit the rest of your wine trip in Beaune and Burgundy. We bought a few bottles and they waived the tasting fees, but I believe its only about $10-15, for 3-hour class. (For the value, that's a super bargain!). Reservation is highly recommended. I believe the only way to make a reservation is to call them directly. They speak English so it was super easy and hassle-free to make an appointment by phone.

Definitely make a reservation ahead of time (we did it via email but had to discuss details via phone). They do tastings at 10am, 2pm, and 4pm.

Although we wish we were, we don't know a whole lot about wine, but we do enjoy tasting to find a favorite and learning more about how to taste. Just buy a tasting package at the counter. You have your choice of 7 wines for 11 euros & a souvenir metal tasting cup or 7 wines + the grand cru wines for 15 euros & a souvenir wine glass. We got 1 of each. Head down into the 13th century caves below and read through the tasting notes and info about each wine. It started with reds, went to white, and ended with the grand cru fancy cooler that a store associate will help you with scanning your "badge." You can pick up a wine carrier to the wines you'd like to buy along the way or just wait until the end for the store. They also go through if you want to ship an order home too. Everyone was very friendly. We ended up loving one of the whites, which surprised us. Stowed it in the luggage and can't wait to break it open for a special occassion!

We arrived early for our appointment and another worker attempted to assist us in French; I was completely lost, but the wine spoke for itself. We didn't get any tour through their VATS, vines, or cellar, but we did get a chance to taste their variety of wines. I also love that they have a female winemaker here at Domaine Naudin Ferrand, keep up the good work! Can't wait to return to Burgundy!

We met the farmer at the office, and he and his wife were so nice and informative! He took us on a very informative tour.

They make their wine "the old fashioned way" in many respects, so it was incredibly interesting to learn about their processes and their history. The wine cellar was really cool as well. We had an awesome time walking through and seeing their older bottles. All in all, we had a great experience here. We tasted a few wines and bought a few bottles. Everything we tasted was very good, and we are excited to try our bottles when we get home!
