TESTIMONIALS

We work closely with Nomad Wine and Charles Derain because he shares the same passion for wines as we do. In Charles' case, his passion is focused on, but not limited to, Burgundy, and his portfolio of producers is the finest in the country. That passion, paired with very favorable pricing and a seemingly unlimited well of knowledge makes Nomad one of our most important suppliers and partners in the wine business.

I started to work with Nomad Wine Importers almost two years ago, and it is very enjoyable. As a grower what I like from Charles, is that he knows what is talking about. He understands the quality of the job we’re doing in our vineyards and cellars.

"Nomad Wine Importers trusts responsible producers who share our core values: protect the soils, vines, grapes, terroirs, microclimates, and the environment.
Natural wines is a broad term that does not clearly describe how the wine has been produced nor does it have a clear definition from a government body. To enhance our transparency we have chosen not to use this term but we prefer to describe our wines with greater precision and finesse. Most of our producers use these methods: Organic or Biodynamic - Hand-harvesting - Fermentation takes place under the action of indigenous yeast - No use of chemicals - Sulfites as low as possible or none.
Our team operates with honesty and transparency to build a relation on knowledge and trust - with you, our customer."

    The roots of the family estate date back from 1760, and today's superb vineyard holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny were united by the marriage of two winemaking families three generations ago. Now in the hands of 41-year-old Romain Taupenot and his sister Virgine, 36, they are the 7th generation to continue the family tradition. All farming is organic and the wine style here is one of elegance and purity, with a base of finesse rather than power.

  • DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU
    The Domaine was started at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau.

Eric's daughter is more and more involved in the production of these elegant wines. This 15 hectare domaine, based in Gevrey, enjoys a reputation of being one of the most distinguished estates in the Côte-d'Or.
    The “Rousseau hand” is a style of wine very recognizable: Fine, elegant and an honest, true expression of the vineyards through the Pinot Noir grape and a little piece of the winemaker.

    Based in Morey-St-Denis, Laurent Ponsot has run the estate since 1983 and left it over to this year to focus on a new venture. He spends most of his time in the vineyard. For him, healthy grapes are the most important component in the making very good wine. In general, the beginning of his harvest starts later than his neighbouring producers. At Domaine Ponsot they wait until the grape has reached full maturity and sometime even longer. Here, there is only one rule in the vinification process: not to follow any rules. The wines are powerful, rich with a lot of flavours and aromas.

The vineyard covers over 20 hectares of a rich earth - silt, chalky with clay-silt and volcanic ash. At Domaine Zinck, all the Alsatian grape varieties are cultivated.
    Philippe Zinck makes well-focused wines with a beautiful expression of both, their terroirs and their grape varieties characteristics.

  • DOMAINE DES ARDOISIERES   (Organic  organic_logo )
    The estate was created in 2005 by Brice Ormont (current owner) and the iconic Michel Grisard. This winery produces outstanding wines. The vineyard was planted on steep slopes (up to 60%) only with local grape varieties like Jacquère, Mondeuse, Altesse, and Persan. This 13 hectares organic vineyard is run with passion and respect of the living world. The aim is to let nature express itself.
    Brice Ormont's rigourous work in the vineyard is the key asset of the wine quality. Every action that is run in the vineyard aims to convey the grape and therefore the wine, the identity of each plot.

  • DOMAINE FABIEN TROSSET
    Domaine Trosset is a family estate located between Chambéry and Albertville, at the Combe de Savoie. In 2011, Fabien took over the domain and kept cultivating the local grape variety, the Mondeuse d'Arbin. This red grape variety, under the work of Fabien Trosset gains local and international recognition.Although the region is mostly known for its white wine production, here the red grapes and red wines dominate. The vines planted in hillsides benefit from an optimal sun exposure and a unique mountain climate - the French Alps.
    Fabien Trosset produces impressive wines in their density and character, while keeping hints of fruits. He is at the top of the appellation.

  • DOMAINE ANDRE ET MIREILLE TISSOT   (Biodynamic  organic_logo )
    Considered as one of the emblematic Domain from Jura, the vineyard is led by Bénédicte and Stéphane Tissot for years. This Estate is at the top of the appellation. In order to attempt to achieve the maximum expression of the terroirs: the 35 hectares are cultivated in Bio-Dynamic viticulture. This allows the soils to live, to have grapes untouched by chemical products, to allow natural yeast fermentations and to reduce the doses of sulphur in the cellar.
    Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot produce incredible wines. A must try for the connoisseurs.
