Airy and complex, with scents of fresh strawberry, rose, plants (lichen, bramble), sugar almond and gunflint.
Mouth
Superb deep attack, tangy red fruit and white pebbles, very fine expression of maturity, spicy aromas (white pepper, mint), fine balance between tannins and lovely acidity, finish with fruity notes (grenadine, redcurrant, pomegranate) and minerality, an exceptional terroir wine, very elegant and full of complexity.

Rated wine 94/100
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Black color, great substance, deep and noble fruitiness, very complex, on big black fruits but with a real mineral tension, long, distinguished, highly recommended.
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.
