"Discover the splendor of the largest Beaune 1er Cru appellation".
"Aromas of ash, cut stone, white pepper and blackberry introduce this profound expression of Les Grèves, Beaune's largest premier cru appellation. Luscious, penetrating flavors of black cherry and plum make this a pleasantly sappy, spicy wine, marked by notes of vanilla, clove and camphor. Fresh acidity and fine, delicate tannins give it structure. At its peak between 2024 and 2030, this wine will keep for a long time to come." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Edouard Delaunay House
Beaune
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
More than a novelty, a rebirth. The return of this old house feels good. The man who has revived it is Laurent Delaunay. He is the founder's great-grandson, and has established himself as a benchmark for Languedoc pleasure wines in supermarkets. It's in Burgundy, on his home turf, that he once again displays the full extent of his talent and vision. We particularly recommend the nuits-saint-georges cuvées, vinified with extreme care and attention to tannin extraction, resulting in voluptuous, tender wines that are always upright. The entire range is beyond reproach.

It offers a range of wines mainly from the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, from regional appellation to grand cru.
