James Suckling
The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Charmont white 2021 is very expressive and intense on the nose, with hints of nougatine and candied chestnut, followed by green notes. The assertive minerality combined with fine oak reveals aromas of flint, gunflint, and heathland. On the palate, the attack is fresh, with lovely acidity and pastry aromas. There is also a beautiful salinity on the finish. This complex, long wine with wonderful freshness will enhance bouchées à la reine, whether fish-based or not...

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.
