Today, I am thrilled to present our exceptional selection from Edouard Delaunay.
Founded in 1893, Edouard Delaunay boasts a rich and unique history, having significantly contributed to the growth of Burgundy throughout the 20th century. The estate was sold in 1993 and re-acquired in late 2017 by the founder’s great-grandson, Laurent Delaunay – oenologist and wine entrepreneur – with the will to restore its place among the great names of Burgundy.
Starting with the 2017 vintage, Maison Edouard Delaunay offers a selection of around thirty cuvées centered around the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, ranging from regional appellations to Grands Crus. Precise, subtle, and balanced wines, catered to the most demanding amateurs and enthusiasts worldwide.
Notably, during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to France in 2024, Edouard Delaunay’s Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020 was served at a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron in celebration of 60 years of Chinese and French friendship at Elysée Palace in Paris.
