The Edouard Delaunay estate’s rich history dates back to 1893. Its wines were the choice of The Orient Express and the finest restaurants in France. A century later, it fell out of family hands. That’s until 2017, when Laurent Delaunay bought back his great-grandfather’s estate and re-established his deep-rooted family connections with the best local grape-growers. With the help of award-winning winemaker Christophe Briotet, he’s making a huge success story of what is now Burgundy’s fastest up-and-coming producer. This Pinot Noir is made mainly from grapes from Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. It’s complex and fresh, with flavours of raspberry, blackcurrant and cherry. Try it with duck.
