Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru (2018) Edouard Delaunay

New

Sweet ripe raspberry and chocolate truffle nose, with parma violets, peonies and rosewater floral notes. Fresh and focussed attack, nicely-poised, with well-integrated acidity, bright, crunchy, lightly peppery mid-palate with concentrated cranberry and red cherries. Very sleek and classy, carrying no extra weight, its shows off energy rather than mass.

    Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. 

    Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. 

    Founded in 1893, the house of Delaunay became a prestigious and prolific estate and was one of the sole distributors of DRC and exclusively of La Romanée until the 1940s.

    Sold to Jean Claude Boisset in the 1990s, the maison was reborn in 2017 when winemaker and fifth generation, Laurent Delaunay, purchased back the name, and winery and cellars next to the family home Chateau de Chaumont.
