"All the greatness of Burgundy Pinot Noir"
"This wine is a perfect example of a Nuits Premier Cru, with its relatively deep ruby color and pronounced aromas of blackcurrant and currants, along with a hint of rose petals and a touch of smokiness. The texture is supple and fairly dense, and the finish is long. This site to the north of the village, with 80-year-old vines planted in clay soils, is subject to the windy influence of the valley, producing a classic Nuits profile.” (Decanter 2022)

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.
