Description

Bourguignon Laurent Delaunay understands how to make a good Pinot Noir in an elegant and refined style. In 2005, he purchased the small boutique winery in the village of Marseillette from the talented Australian Nerida Abbott and introduced, among other wines, this beautifully crafted red wine.

Laurent selects exclusively from terraced vineyards in the Aude Valley, nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The limited yield of around 50 hl/ha allows the grapes to reach the ideal skin ripeness. This is crucial for a pure, ripe aroma and flavor in the wine.

After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, approximately a quarter of the production is aged in oak barrels for six to nine months. The result is impressive, not because of any high concentration, but rather because of the accessible, crystal-clear, and elegant flavor with the seductive nuance of new oak.

Drinking at

A smooth, fruity red wine to enjoy slightly chilled. Ideal as an aperitif or with light dishes, such as beetroot salad, roast guinea fowl with pomegranate, or cannelloni with spinach and ricotta.

Tasting note

A light ruby-red wine with a fruity aroma of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, red currant, and rosehip. The palate is intensely juicy with pure red fruit, invigorating acidity, and fine tannins. A slightly spicy finish.

Shelf life

Now beautiful and can be kept for up to 4 years after harvest.
