The Legacy of Edouard Delaunay
Established in 1893, the storied Maison Edouard Delaunay has been a beacon of excellence in the heart of Burgundy. This legendary house fell to the care of Laurent Delaunay in 2017, marking the revival of its esteemed history. With a focus on precision, subtlety, and balance, Laurent has restored its reputation as the smallest of the great Burgundy merchant houses.
The Pommard Premier Cru Les Chaponnières
Nestled in the prestigious Côte de Beaune, the Pommard appellation is renowned for its robust and structured Pinot Noir wines. Les Chaponnières vineyard, classified as Premier Cru, boasts exceptional terroir — clay-limestone soils and excellent sun exposure which imparts structure and aromatic complexity to its wines.
The Edouard Delaunay Pommard Premier Cru Les Chaponnières Rouge 2020 captures the essence of this unique site, delivering a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors, from black cherry to blackberry, layered with earthy undertones and a hint of spice.
Pinot Noir at Its Peak
Made exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir, the wine showcases deep ruby hues, characteristic of concentrated Pommard grapes. This varietal shines with firm tannins and a full-bodied palate, offering a sophisticated play of flavors – dark fruits intermixed with earthy, spicy notes.
Winemaking Philosophy
Edouard Delaunay adheres to a meticulous winemaking philosophy. Grapes are hand-picked, sorted with precision, and undergo cold maceration. Aging occurs in French oak barrels, enhancing the wine’s complexity and allowing for a beautiful expression of the terroir.
