About the Producer Edouard Delaunay

Based in the Côte de Nuits, in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Maison Edouard Delaunay takes its name from its founder, who established it in 1893. Success came quickly, and wines were soon distributed by leading merchants and served in prestigious settings, from the French Senate to, more impressively still, the Palais de l’Élysée.
Although over time the Maison lost some of its prestige, Laurent Delaunay, one of the founder’s descendants, took on the challenge of restoring it to its former glory in 2017. Under his direction, an impressive portfolio of twenty-five appellations is vinified, including nine grands crus and eight premiers crus from the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Work in the winery is meticulous and guided by respect for the fruit, with the aim of avoiding excessive extraction to create refined wines that express their terroir and individual plots with clarity and finesse.
