Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Le Village', Edouard Delaunay 2023
Est. delivery in 2026 Edouard Delaunay's 2023 reds are more refined, with less power than the previous years, offering more elegance and poise. The acidity is well-integrated, and the tannins are fine and soft, especially in the wines from the southern parts of Nuits-Saint-Georges (NSG), which do not include any whole bunches. The reds from 2023 show great potential for ageing, with enough structure to develop further while maintaining a fresh, layered character. "This flagship wine comes from vines over 50 years old. It is a blend of two vineyards from the southern part of NSG. The wine shows more blue fruit, dark cherry, and spices with good balance between acidity and tannins. The finish is smoky and coats the palate, though there is still some rusticity that will soften with age." Our note Overall, the 2023 vintage is a welcome surprise, offering a balance of power and elegance. With a focus on terroir expression, the wines show great ageing potential and freshness, with no over-ripeness or dilution. The whites are bright, fresh, and pure, while the reds show refinement and elegance, with a good structure for future ageing. While some of the wines are still developing, there is much to look forward to in the coming years. Delaunay features as one of the Top 15 Négociants & Cooperatives in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
Pommard, Domaine Benoit Girardin 2023
"From two parcels—Les Lambots near Volnay and En Mareau—this Pommard strikes a balance between elegance and power. The nose offers vibrant red fruit, with cherries, red currants, and a hint of warm spice. The palate is silky yet grippy, with fine tannins providing structure and excellent balance." Our note Son of Yves and nephew of Vincent, Benoit Girardin has steadily carved out his own reputation and is already turning heads in the Parisian restaurant scene. 2023 was a standout vintage for Girardin, delivering both quantity and quality. While white yields were typical, the reds saw an unprecedented abundance. The whites were harvested first, beginning on September 7th, with the reds following on September 10th. Whites show a harmonious balance between sugar and acidity, with greater maturity and slightly softer acidity compared to 2022. The reds are all 100% destemmed with no fining or filtration, while the whites retain purity and definition with meticulous filtration.
