Meet Natacha Voland

My name is Natacha Voland. Born in Beaune, I grew up in a wine family where wine was at the centre of almost every discussion, both for pleasure (being able to drink the best Burgundy wines) and also for business.

I remember having long lunches and dinners with well-known wine professionals like Georges Duboeuf, Alexis Lichine, and Robert Mondavi at the table. It was a festive, creative and very enriching environment.

I still remember some conversations about how important it was to promote Burgundy around the world!

The family business has developed over 3 main activities: bottling wine producers’ wines, storage, and picking and a négociant activity mainly across Europe, USA and Japan.

Our key success factors include sharing a long-term relationship with the best producers in Burgundy and our clients spreading the word on the innate quality and excellence of Burgundy wines. 

Traditions

With my parents working hard, I was raised by my grandparents. My grandfather, Maurice Ninot, played an important role in my wine education. As part of a family tradition, my grandfather taught me how to taste wine from the age of 4.

We went to wine producers’ cellars and I had to learn how to analyse a wine by using my senses (nose, palate, colour). This experience of going to different cellars, meeting wine producers and discovering how they made their wines was so rich and intense! 

Another tradition that we had was to go once a week, just the 2 of us, to different restaurants, to pair wines with food. Also, to be able to talk to the chef about his signature dish and to select the right wine to go perfectly with his cuisine. 

Back to my roots...

I had the chance to travel, live and work abroad, discover new cultures...but always, with always one objective in mind – to one day work in the wine business with my family.

Burgundy is a complex region to understand, not just because of differences in terroirs and appellations, but also due to the winemakers. You have to know which wine producers make the difference on an appellation. My aspiration is to share with you, what will make the difference between a Burgundy wine and an amazing Burgundy wine!

It is simply the most outstanding wine to enjoy, yet an air of mystery and complexity surrounds its creation. Even the most experienced wine aficionado is unable to explain why it possesses so many remarkable qualities. Burgundy’s amazing attributes cannot be analysed into elements or reduced to formulas.

There are no set rules to making Burgundy; there are no set rules to appreciating Burgundy.

In the end, only time, dedication and desire will bring you closer to understanding what makes Burgundy so successful and so much loved.

Burgundy Wines

Burgundy delights, charms, intrigues and fascinates lovers of fine wine all over the world. It is simply the most outstanding wine to enjoy, yet has an air of mystery…

Red Burgundy Wine

Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, red Burgundy wine is produced in various styles. Their flavour profiles arise from the unique appellations where the fruit is grown and the vinification techniques that were used in their making.

These are some of the most age-worthy wines in the world. 

White Burgundy Wine

These are Chardonnay-based wines from Burgundy. Similar to the red Burgundy, the white Burgundy wines are also crafted in various styles.

Their flavours too, are influenced by their terroir and vinification techniques. Some white Burgundies see some form of oak ageing. 

Liquors

Made from the fermentation of organic fruits, One B Wine offers delicious liquors that can be served with desserts or at the end of a meal.

We also bring you unique gins which you can have as an aperitif, for brunch or anytime you feel like it!

​​The Hospices de Beaune, also known as the “Hotel Dieu”, is a former hospital for the poor created by Nicolas Rolin in 1443. The original hospital building is now a museum.

In 1457, Jean Guillotte le Verrier was the first to donate vineyards to the Hotel Dieu to pay the hospital back for having cured him from a disease.

This tradition continued through the centuries and still exists today! This is a great way for patients and their families to thank this institution, ensure qualitative treatments and long-term business continuity.

It’s also a way to be part of history as all donors have their family names written on the "Cuvée" which they presented for example, Meursault Charmes Premier Cru Cuvée “Albert Grivault”.
