Frédéric Leprince

Burgundy, France

Based in Nantoux in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Frédéric Leprince works with precision and restraint, crafting wines that combine balance, clarity, minerality and a long, composed finish.

Based in the village of Nantoux, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Frédéric Leprince represents a new generation of Burgundian vignerons. His work is defined by a clear, singular intention: to craft wines that are honest, expressive, and deeply connected to their origin. There is no desire here to follow trends or to impress through power; instead, the focus remains entirely on precision, balance, and drinkability.

After gaining experience both in Burgundy and abroad, Frédéric returned to the Côte d'Or with a firm conviction: the identity of a wine is formed in the vineyard, and every step that follows should serve to preserve that identity. His vineyards are farmed with meticulous care and respect for the environment. Yields are kept low to ensure concentration, yet the aim is always natural balance rather than force.

In the cellar, intervention is kept to a minimum. Fermentations take place with indigenous yeasts, and extractions are gentle. Oak is used sparingly and thoughtfully, never masking the wine but supporting its structure and aging potential. As Frédéric puts it, the wines are not "built", they are guided.

This dedication to purity and restraint has earned Frédéric a dedicated following among France's culinary elite. His wines are intensely structured, clean, and perfectly balanced for the dining table. So much so that over 90% of his production is sold directly to high-end French restaurants.

The resulting style is one of clarity and elegance. There is a purity to the fruit and a fine line of acidity that makes these wines both engaging and timeless. Frédéric Leprince may not seek the spotlight, but his wines speak with a quiet, contemporary confidence.

Given the incredible demand from three-star kitchens in France, our allocation represents a genuine and rare opportunity to secure these sought-after, modern Burgundies for the Dutch market.
