Edouard Delaunay - Gevrey Chambertin 'Le Village Vieilles Vignes' Red 2021

Grape

100% Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

Gorgeous, deep carmine red in colour. Extremely complex nose with aromas of cooked red berries (redcurrant jelly, blackcurrant coulis) and spicy notes (black pepper, turmeric), which mingle harmoniously. Then come resinous notes, which are immediately followed by a touch of black tea and light tobacco. This extremely elegant wine offers mastered balance between the freshness of fruit (cherry, cherry juice) and the power of reductive notes (roasted peanut, coffee grounds). Magnificent, spicy, bold start to the palate, which is supported by lovely acidity. This is a fine wine for laying down and will reveal its full potential as it ages. It should be decanted in its youth.

More About The Winery

The story of Maison Edouard Delaunay is one of passion, resilience, and revival. Once a prestigious Burgundy négociant house, the family sold the estate 25 years ago — but in a remarkable twist of fate, Laurent Delaunay, great-grandson of the founder, bought it back and restored its legacy.

Since acquiring the winery, brand, and historic cellars — alongside his Château de Charmont in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits — Laurent has worked tirelessly to return Edouard Delaunay to the forefront of Burgundy. Today, the house once again produces wines from some of the region’s most renowned appellations, celebrated for their purity, precision, and terroir expression.

The philosophy of Laurent Delaunay is rooted in listening to the vineyard: respecting the terroir, carefully observing the vines, and accompanying the wine’s natural evolution with gentle precision. The result is a portfolio of Burgundian wines that are refined, elegant, and authentic, from village-level bottlings to prestigious Premier and Grand Crus.

For wine lovers in Singapore, Maison Edouard Delaunay represents the rebirth of a Burgundy legend — a house where heritage and modern craftsmanship meet in every glass.
