Maison Edouard Delaunay - Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Charmont blanc 2021

Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Charmont blanc 2021 is very expressive and intense on the nose, with hints of nougatine and marron glacé, followed by green notes. The assertive minerality, combined with the fine woodiness, reveals scents of flint, gunflint and heather earth. On the palate, the attack is fresh, with good acidity and pastry aromas. There's also a fine salinity on the finish. This complex, long wine with a beautiful freshness will sublimate your "bouchées à la reine", with fish or otherwise...

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.
