Maison Edouard Delaunay - Bourgogne Chardonnay Septembre 2020

Jancis Robinson
"A beautiful, accessible and charming white Burgundy!
"Crafted by Laurent Delaunay's fifth generation, Septembre is a blend of about one-third Côte d'Or, Mâconnais (for richness) and Yonne (for freshness and mineral notes). A wine with lots of floral notes, while the palate is concentrated and complex, with a delicious combination of stone fruits cut by hints of lime zest. Lively acidity and a stony finish make this a lovely entry-level Burgundy Chardonnay." (Decanter 2023)

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 voluptuous, tender wines that are always upright. The entire range is beyond reproach.

About the wine:
Pleasant nose of peach and hazelnut. Juicy, fleshy fruit - peach, orange, cantaloupe - nicely sculpted by acidity. This wine has excellent balance, a pleasant mid-palate and a clean finish. This Chardonnay was more successful than its Pinot Noir sibling. The value for money is also much better.
