An exceptional duo between Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits… Now recognized as one of Burgundy’s great houses, Edouard Delaunay unveils two cuvées from prestigious appellations… Puligny-Montrachet Le Village 2019
The Puligny-Montrachet Le Village cuvée comes mainly from the Corvée des vignes area to the north of the appellation, where vines grow on the lower slopes.
While the entire vinification process is carried out in barrels (20% of which are new), only part of the cuvée undergoes malolactic fermentation. During ageing, regular stirring of the lees enriches the wine’s texture.
Pale gold in color. On the nose, minerality is followed by brioche, fresh pineapple, apple and candied lemon. On the palate, the attack reveals lovely acidity and freshness, accompanied by a slight salinity. The whole is delicately enveloped by subtle aromas of vanilla and fresh hazelnut.
Pair with scallops or foie gras royale.

A blend of three parcels of old vines in the foothills of the Côtes de Nuits, this cuvée is rooted in limestone soil mixed with clay and marl. This gives the wine finesse and minerality, but also power and richness. A duality characteristic of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation.
After hand-picking, the grapes are destemmed and carefully selected to retain only the finest berries. Fermentation, naturally carried out using indigenous yeasts, is followed by 15 to 18 months of barrel ageing (30% of which is new).
This wine is immediately seductive, with its cherry-red color and fine, complex nose of Morello cherry and tangy wild berries. On the palate, full and velvety, the wine’s rich aromas evoke wood, spices and a touch of minerality. The finish gives way to beautiful notes of licorice and violet.
Serve with a truffle omelette or duck fillet with orange sauce.
