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

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.
