Edouard Delaunay - Chambertin Grand Cru Red 2019

Grape

100% Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

Gorgeous and intense vermillion red in color, this wine opens with a fresh, airy bouquet layered with spice, willow, thyme, eucalyptus, heather, cedar, and a whisper of freshly cut herbs. Subtle notes of egg-based pastries add a delicate gourmand touch, enhancing the wine’s overall finesse and elegance.

On the palate, it is fresh, soft, and full, delivering a velvety texture and remarkable length. Flavors of roasted notes, dark chocolate, fruit jellies, raspberry, and mellow red berry liqueurs unfold gracefully, joined by a hint of cherries in alcohol. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, giving the wine structure without weight.

The long, elegant finish carries lingering impressions of chocolate and a subtle saline-liquorice nuance, making for a complex and captivating tasting experience.

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.
