"All the greatness of Burgundy Pinot Noir"
"This wine is a perfect example of a Nuits premier cru, with its relatively deep ruby color and pronounced aromas of blackcurrant and currants, with a hint of rose petals and a touch of smoke. The texture is supple and rather dense, and the finish is long. This site to the 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)

About the estate:
More than just a novelty, it's a renaissance. The return of this old house is a welcome sight. The man who revived it is Laurent Delaunay. He is the great-grandson of the founder and has established himself as a leading figure in the Languedoc wine industry, specializing in wines for everyday enjoyment. It is in Burgundy, on his own land, that he once again demonstrates the full extent of his talent and vision. We particularly recommend the Nuits-Saint-Georges vintages, vinified with extreme care and attention to tannin extraction, resulting in voluptuous, tender wines that are always straightforward. The entire range is flawless.
