Discover the splendor of the largest Beaune Premier Cru appellation.
"Aromas of ash, cut stone, white pepper, and blackberry introduce this profound expression of Les Grèves, Beaune's largest premier cru appellation. The flavors of black cherry and plum, pulpy and penetrating, make this a pleasantly sappy and spicy wine, marked by notes of vanilla, clove, and camphor. Fresh acidity and fine, delicate tannins give it structure. At its peak between 2024 and 2030, this wine will keep for a long time." (Wine Enthusiast 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.
