Edouard Delaunay
Founded in 1893, Edouard Delaunay is an old House with a rich and singular history that contributed significantly to the development of Burgundy throughout the 20th century. It was bought at the end of 2017 by the founder's great-grandson, Laurent Delaunay, an oenologist and wine entrepreneur, with the aim of restoring its position among the great names of Burgundy. Starting with the 2017 vintage, Maison Edouard Delaunay offers a selection of around thirty vintages concentrated on the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, ranging from regional appellations to Grands Crus. Precise, subtle, well-balanced wines, without excess, for the most demanding wine lovers and enthusiasts throughout the world.
Description
Magnificent, deep colour tinged with blue. The nose is superbly fresh, airy and very classy, which is typical of Côte de Nuits wines, exuding aromas of black cherry and spices. Tremendous velvety, full-bodied start to the palate, boasting perfect balance between maturity and acidity. Notes of black fruit, wild plum, bark, hazelnut and coffee are complemented by hints of spices, incense, beeswax and dark chocolate. The tannins are still firm, but will soften over time.
Food Pairing
Beef, Veal, Game (deer, venison), Poultry
