Deep red
Nose
Expressive and complex of ripe cherry and fruit paste (blackcurrant), balsamic note of pine sap and a little smoke, scents of bark, bramble, wet earth after the storm, essences of noble wood (oak), touch of Russian leather.
Mouth
Very good attack, good acidity and concentration, very promising wine, rich and complex, with fine tannins.

Food and wine pairing
The perfect accompaniment to a mixed platter of charcuterie and cheese, a gourmet salad with warm toast, grilled poultry, white meat, roast beef with mixed vegetables, light soft cheeses, fresh raspberry cheesecake... the perfect companion for an entire meal!

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.
