Very good attack, good acidity and concentration, very promising wine, rich and complex, with fine tannins.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Noted domain 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard 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.
