Pommard Premier Cru 'Les Chaponnières', Edouard Delaunay, 2023

Est. delivery in 2026

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

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.
