Nose
Expressive and complex with ripe cherry and fruit paste (blackcurrant), balsamic notes of pine sap and a hint of smoke, aromas of bark, bramble, wet earth after a storm, noble wood essences (oak), and a touch of Russian leather.
Mouth
Very nice attack, lovely acidity and nice concentration, a very promising wine, rich and complex, with beautiful tannins.

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.
