Tasting notes
This wine presents a gorgeous golden yellow hue, hinting at the richness within. The nose is superbly complex and intense, revealing layers of elegant oak, acacia blossom, toasted almonds, and frangipane, followed by nuanced aromas of candied fruits, angelica, bergamot, almond, and freshly baked kugelhopf.
On the palate, it opens magnificently with remarkable roundness, depth, and a gentle sucrosity, beautifully balanced by fresh acidity. Flavours of yellow stone fruit, particularly mirabelle plum, mingle with hints of fresh herbs and rose petal, adding lift and complexity.
This is an exceptionally elegant and expressive wine, showcasing both concentration and finesse. The finish is long, refined, and marked by a subtle mineral note of flint, reinforcing its pedigree and aging potential.

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.
