Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Les Crots', 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. "Sourced from the top of the slope in southern NSG, this wine is deep and intense with a mix of red and purple fruit, wild strawberries, and a lot of minerality. Aged in 50% new oak for 12 months, it has a silky texture with fine tannins, and its freshness and generosity show great ageing potential." 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.
Vosne-Romanée, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2021
A classic expression of the village, the Clos Frantin's 2021 Vosne-Romanée is fragrant with red cherries, wild strawberries, a touch of plum and a hint of violets. The palate is silky and pure, with bright red fruit, gentle spice and that trademark Vosne finesse. Polished tannins and a mineral lift keep everything fresh and beautifully balanced, leading to a long, elegant finish. Maison Albert Bichot, a long-established Burgundy négociant and domaine house passed down through six generations since 1831, now manages a collection of individual Domaines, including Domaine du Clos Frantin, one of the standout estates in its stable.
