Drink or Keep
The nose of this Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Charmont red is intense and brilliant, offering notes of cherry and truffle, with a touch of toasted bread. The aromatic complexity is impressive, with spicy and fruity notes, as well as hints of cigar, incense and bark. The palate is round, fresh and full, with tannins and acidity typical of Hautes-Côtes that "sizzle" on the palate, demonstrating the great ageing potential of this wine of character and freshness...

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.
