"All the greatness of Burgundy Pinot Noir".
"This wine is a perfect example of Nuits premier cru, with its relatively deep ruby color and pronounced aromas of blackcurrant and currant, with a hint of rose petals and a little smoke. The texture is supple and rather dense, with a long finish. This site north of the village, with octogenarian vines planted in clay soils, is subject to the windy influence of the combe, producing a classic Nuits profile." (Decanter 2022)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 94/100
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 wines that are voluptuous and tender, yet always upright. The entire range is beyond reproach.
