Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Edouard Delaunay Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2020 is crafted from old Pinot Noir vines rooted in classic limestone and clay soils. This expressive red Burgundy opens with an inviting bouquet of black cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and subtle forest floor. On the palate, it reveals layers of juicy red and black berries, earthy undertones, and a delicate hint of spice, all supported by supple yet structured tannins. The wine’s silky texture and persistent, mineral-driven finish highlight its depth and finesse. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast duck with cherry sauce, grilled lamb chops, or a slice of aged Comté cheese, each complementing the wine’s complexity and aromatic intensity.
Winery Background Founded in 1893, Edouard Delaunay is a historic Burgundy house recognized for its dedication to quality and meticulous winemaking. After a period of dormancy, the domaine was revitalized by Laurent Delaunay, the fifth generation of the family, who restored its reputation through careful parcel selection, sustainable vineyard practices, and small-batch vinification. The focus on old vines in Gevrey-Chambertin reflects the estate’s commitment to authenticity and terroir-driven expression, producing wines that harmoniously blend tradition with contemporary precision. Edouard Delaunay’s artisanal approach and deep regional heritage distinguish it as a benchmark producer in Burgundy.
