🍷 Trade Masterclass - Edouard Delaunay
Olivier Hui-Bon-Hoa, Regional Director Asia, joined our trade partners for an afternoon dedicated to the wines of Edouard Delaunay, a Burgundy house whose recent renaissance has attracted considerable attention from collectors and professionals alike.
Established in 1893 and reawakened under the leadership of Laurent Delaunay, the maison has become known for wines that balance precision with authenticity, capturing the nuances of Burgundy through careful vineyard selection and thoughtful élevage.
The tasting unfolded through a series of appellations that illustrated both the breadth of the portfolio and the character of the region. Bourgogne Septembre Blanc 2023 opened with freshness, citrus energy and a subtle saline edge, followed by the texture and refinement of Meursault 2022. The red wines gradually built in depth and intensity, from the bright fruit and immediacy of Bourgogne Septembre Rouge 2023 to the layered complexity of Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021.
The final wine, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers 2019, brought the discussion firmly into Premier Cru territory, combining ripe dark fruit, spice and savoury nuance with impressive structure and persistence.
Throughout the afternoon, conversations extended beyond the glass to the evolution of Burgundy today, examining how a historic maison can honour tradition while continuing to refine its identity for a new generation.
An engaging exchange of ideas, wines, and perspectives that reaffirmed why Burgundy remains one of the world’s most fascinating wine regions.
