Edouard Delaunay's 2023 reds are more refined, with less power than the previous years, offering more elegance and poise. The acidity is well-integrated, and the tannins are fine and soft, especially in the wines from the southern parts of Nuits-Saint-Georges (NSG), which do not include any whole bunches. The reds from 2023 show great potential for ageing, with enough structure to develop further while maintaining a fresh, layered character.

"A silky, velvety wine made from 80-year-old vines. With a rich, opulent character and soft tannins, it offers dark red fruits and spice. Aged in 33% new oak for 18-20 months, this wine is still in its developmental stage but shows a lot of potential."
Our note

The Les Chaponnières is one of only three Pommard Premier Crus in Jasper Morris' 2023 report to have been awarded five stars.

Overall, the 2023 vintage is a welcome surprise, offering a balance of power and elegance. With a focus on terroir expression, the wines show great ageing potential and freshness, with no over-ripeness or dilution. The whites are bright, fresh, and pure, while the reds show refinement and elegance, with a good structure for future ageing. While some of the wines are still developing, there is much to look forward to in the coming years.

What the critics say:

16.5/20Tamlyn Currin, Jancis Robinson

"This wine is singing like a wood thrush at dawn. The sweetest fruit, so pure and vibrating so sweetly that you can almost hear it. The crumpled driftwood of tannins does nothing to stop the flow of jewelled ruby, lapidary acidity. Complete and clear and clarion."

92-95/100Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"13 barrels, 38% new (five, therefore), not yet racked. All destemmed. Glowing purple, the bouquet is marvellous, fully ripe but with a youthful energy. Magical ripe red cherries, with a vibrancy throughout, multilayered and very persistent on the palate. Extra. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2024 *****"

Edouard Delaunay

Like a phoenix from the ashes, the story of House Delaunay's revival attracted considerable attention and excitement back in 2017. We were confident that the House would live up to the hype, but they have even exceeded our wildest expectations.
