Aymé Vadim, based in the Côte de Nuits, has quietly achieved near-mythical status among collectors, largely due to the extreme rarity of his wines.

Production is exceptionally limited: around 2,500 bottles per year across 8–9 wines, equating to roughly 300 bottles per cuvée.

With a PhD in molecular biology and a career spanning Harvard, the Max Planck Institute, and the Pentagon, Vadim took an unconventional path into winemaking, starting anew in Beaune. His philosophy is uncompromising: exclusively Premier and Grand Cru sites, spontaneous fermentation, no fining or filtration, and minimal sulfur. The result is wines of striking precision, purity, and transparency.

Each cuvée is sourced from a single barrel and hand-bottled directly from cask, making every release a unique, non-replicable expression.
