89/100
Bettane & Desseauve
"Remarkable body and character that should interest any serious wine lover, with a use that goes far beyond that of a pleasant aperitif, and an exemplary salty and rising finish. A thousand times more interesting than the mediocre famous villages that are unfortunately bought by certain merchants." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

Mouth
Very nice attack, perfect balance between freshness, tension, and delicacy, lovely liveliness on the finish with delicate aromas of fresh hazelnuts and beeswax, slight salty sensation.

About wine:
Remarkable body and character that should appeal to any serious wine lover, with uses far beyond that of a pleasant aperitif, and an exemplary salty, rising finish. A thousand times more interesting than the mediocre famous villages that are unfortunately bought by certain merchants.
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.

About the estate:
Laurent and Catherine Delaunay, founders of the Badet-Clément wine house in Nuits-Saint-Georges, have revived the Édouard Delaunay wine merchant business, founded in 1893 by Laurent's great-grandfather. It offers a range of wines mainly from the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, ranging from regional appellations to grands crus.
