Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Deep black color, very full-bodied, with deep, noble, and highly complex fruit flavors—notably rich black fruit—but with a distinct mineral edge; long and elegant; highly recommended.
About the estate:
More than just a new venture—it’s a rebirth. The return of this historic estate is a welcome development. The man who brought it back to life is Laurent Delaunay. He is the great-grandson of the founder and has established himself as a leading figure in the world of approachable Languedoc wines in the mass market. It is in Burgundy, on his own vineyards, 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 a focus on tannin extraction that results in voluptuous, supple wines that are always well-structured. The entire range is impeccable.

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 firm, founded in 1893 by Laurent’s great-grandfather. It offers a range of wines primarily from the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits, ranging from regional appellations to grand cru wines.
