Bourgogne Septembre Edouard Delaunay 2021

The wine

This Burgundy is a blend of Pinot Noir with 80% of them coming from the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits as well as some from the Côte de Couchois (located to the north-west of the Côte Chalonnaise) where the wines are known for their freshness. Beaujolais Pinot Noir is added to complete the blend, bringing colour and fruit flavours with it. The grapes are grown with as few chemicals as possible, harvested by hand and sorted when they arrive at the cellar. Pre-fermentation cold maceration enhances the red fruit notes found in the wine. Half of the cuvée is matured in oak barrels for one to four years. The rest is matured in vats to create the perfect alliance between freshness and structure.
This purple Burgundy reveals notes of small red fruits but also black cherry and blackcurrants with a hint of spices. On the palate, it is supple, very fruity, and structured by fine tannins before a wonderfully fresh finish takes its place. A blue-chip wine to be drunk while young.
