Over the hills and far away to the Haut Côtes….
And a kaleidoscopic tasting with Laurent Delaunay at the family’s beautiful Château de Charmont. 28 wines tried – from Bourgogne Aligoté (absolutely outstanding – who needs Chardonnay?!?) right through to Echezeaux and Clos Vougeot, with many highlights across appellations and crus.
The 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 etc, allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the terroirs.
Whilst the strength in Nuits Saint Georges is especially noticeable, there are some absolute gems throughout – and the consistent balance of succulence and focus, sweetness and salinity, authenticity and sophistication shows that there are great things ahead for Maison Delaunay.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2036
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."
