This wine captures everything we love about Nuits-Saint-Georges — structure, energy, and just the right touch of generosity. The nose leads with ripe red and black cherries, dark berries and a hint of violet, followed by subtle spice, forest floor and a touch of oak. It’s supple yet confident, with silky tannins wrapped around fresh fruit and a core of minerality.
2020 was an exceptional year in Burgundy. Despite the heat and drought, many growers achieved brilliant balance, and the reds are particularly exciting: concentrated fruit yet surprisingly fresh, with fine tannins and lifted acidity. It’s a vintage that’s both charming young and capable of ageing gracefully.
Delaunay's choice of parcels, and pragmatic approach – where every cuvée is treated individually without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the terroirs.
What the critics say:
"A ripe and surprisingly silky wine for this appellation, which is so often associated with chewy tannins. And that gives it a lot of black-cherry charm even at this very youthful stage. The supple tannins nicely support the moderately dry finish. Drink or hold."
