“Discover the splendor of the largest Beaune 1er Cru appellation”
“Aromas of ash, cut stone, white pepper, and blackberry introduce this profound expression from Les Grèves, Beaune’s greatest Premier Cru appellation. Flavors of black cherry and plum, lush and penetrating, make for a pleasantly sap-filled and spicy wine, marked by notes of vanilla, clove, and camphor. Fresh acidity and fine, delicate tannins give it its structure. At its peak between 2024 and 2030, this wine will age well for many years to come.” (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

About the estate:
More than just a new release, it’s a rebirth. The return of this historic winery is a welcome sight. The man who brought it back to life is Laurent Delaunay. He is the great-grandson of the founder and has established himself as a leading figure in the world of approachable Languedoc wines in the mass market. 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 a focus on tannin extraction that yields voluptuous, tender wines that are always well-structured. The entire range is impeccable.
