Grape
100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes
Gorgeous deep red colour. The first nose is intense and complex, redolent of fruit (black cherry, raspberry), spices (coriander and paprika), incense, cherry bark and Russian leather, underscored by magnificent, elegant oakiness. Mentholated notes and scents of strawberry and cocoa follow.

About the winery
The Delaunay story is absolutely unique!
25 years earlier, the Delaunay family sold the family premium wine estate. A couple of years ago, Laurent Delaunay, the 5th generation of a family of winemakers and négociants, is re-appropriating his family’s history!
After a few years of intense work at the cellar by Laurent, we can tell: Delaunay is back on the very front of the scene with nicest appellations, superb juices.
The Revival of the House
The revival of the House of Edouard Delaunay began three years ago when Laurent, great grandson of the founder, bought back the winery, brand and cellar and added them to Chateau de Charmont, in the Hautes Cotes de Nuits, purchased in 2007.
His ambition has been to return it to its former glory and make Edouard Delaunay a leading Burgundian wine house once more. He has done that, and then some!
