"One new barrel plus one old. 14% abv. Opulent like a grand cru, slightly reticent at this stage but with bright red fruit emerging. Structured and promising."
Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager

Maison Edouard Delaunay is a story of rebirth. Since re-emerging, the team has established a remarkable reputation, particularly for its whites, which show bright, front-foot-forward fruit and unmistakable precision. There is no set recipe for each vintage; each wine reflects its terroir, and each year presents a new challenge to express the land faithfully.

With 52 appellations produced in 2024 - just a third of a regular vintage due to careful selection - the domaine continues to prioritise quality over quantity, focusing on what truly matters: the character of each plot.

What the critics say:

90-93/100 ♥Allen Meadows, Burghound

"Here too the wood treatment is discreet but still perceptible on the cool, airy and more elegant nose of mostly wild red berries and soft floral nuances. There is excellent precision to the finer, if a bit less concentrated, flavors that display fine length on the youthfully austere, firm and compact finale. This is quite good though sufficiently reticent that it's going to require at least moderate patience. *Outstanding*"

17/20Matthew Hayes, Jancis Robinson

"Mid ruby. The new oak is certainly well integrated into the cherry, raspberry and damson nose. This is well balanced between the sweetly mature fruit and the fresh acidity. Best of the bunch so far among these Delaunay 2024 reds (before the grands crus), with some evident potential for ageing. Lots of spice, too. Integrated, powdery tannins. Rather classic Gevrey-Chambertin."

OUR GROWERS

Edouard Delaunay

The house of Delaunay, founded in 1893, has a prestigious history and was renowned as one of the exclusive distributors of DRC (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) and La Romanée until the 1940s. In the 1990s, it was sold to Jean Claude Boisset. However, in 2017, winemaker and fifth-generation family member Laurent Delaunay repurchased the name, winery, and cellars adjacent to the family home, Château de Charmont, leading to the revival of the maison.

Laurent was confirmed as President of the BIVB (Burgundy Wine Board) in 2023. Wines produced include a focus on different 1er crus in Nuits Saint Georges, as well as Corton-Charlemagne, Clos Vougeot and Chambertin Grand Crus.
