Edouard Delaunay Septembre Pinot Noir 2022

R426.00

Region: Burgundy, France

Tasting note:

“Superb, deep cherry red in colour. The nose is delicately fruity (cherry, Damson plum, rhubarb) and f loral (violet, lilac). An elegant hint of pine sap lends complexity and mingles with pleasing sucrosity reminiscent of sugar-coated almonds. Then come spicier notes (pepper, nutmeg), which are rounded out by the delectable scent of freshly baked bread. The palate starts off with remarkable breadth and features delicate flavours of red fruit (cherry, raspberry). The palate boasts lovely acidity along with bold tannins that will mellow in the coming months along with a discrete hint of wood (cedar, cinnamon). This is a lovely, expressive wine, endowed with vivacity and remarkable length.” – Winemaker

A true Renaissance story makes Edouard Delaunay a Phoenix in Burgundy.

Founded in 1893, Edouard Delaunay is an old House with a rich and singular history that contributed significantly to the development of Burgundy throughout the 20th century. Unfortunately, the company had to be sold in 1992 much to the disappointment of Laurent, founder’s great-grandson who had recently joined his father in the business.

Determined to rebuild the estate, he created Badet-Clement in 1995 specialising in wines from the South of France, before returning to Burgundy in 2003 as a distributor.

Finally, in 2017 he was able to buy it back, with the aim of restoring its position among the great names of Burgundy.
Starting with the 2017 vintage, Maison Edouard Delaunay offers a selection of around thirty vintages concentrated on the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, ranging from regional appellations to Grands Crus.
Recognition followed suit being awarded IWC winemaker of the year in 2020 & 2021, a mere 3 years after its revival!

Precise, subtle, well-balanced wines, without excess, for the most demanding wine lovers and enthusiasts throughout the world.

Septembre Pinot Noir is A contemporary Pinot Noir that brings together all of the elegance and subtlety of this Burgundian varietal, at a reasonable price. A cuvée that allies balance, freshness and fruit through which we affirm our expertise in terms of the vinification, blending and knowledge of Burgundy’s terroirs.
