Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 94/ 100
Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Black color, great substance, deep and noble fruitiness, very complex, on big black fruits but with a real mineral tension, long, distinguished, highly recommended.
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 wines that are voluptuous and tender, yet always upright. The entire range is beyond reproach.
