Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

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.

About the domain :

Laurent and Catherine Delaunay, founders of the Badet-Clément wine house in Nuits-Saint-Georges, have revived the Édouard Delaunay trading house, founded in 1893 by Laurent's great-grandfather. It offers a range of wines mainly from the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, from regional appellation to grand cru.
