Our Wine
Brands and Maisons
DELAUNAY Vins & Domaines brings together wine brands and maisons with strong personalities, from Burgundy to Languedoc. All share the same ambition: to create memorable tasting experiences.
Edouard Delaunay
Founded in 1893, Maison Edouard Delaunay quickly distinguished itself for the quality of its wines, contributing to Burgundy’s international renown for nearly a century. In 2017, Laurent Delaunay, great-grandson of the founder, reconnected with his family legacy, reclaiming the helm of production. From its historic base in Nuits-Saint-Georges and the Hautes Côtes de Nuits Maison Edouard Delaunay has crafted an extraordinary collection of fine wines from Burgundy’s most esteemed terroirs. This meticulous and determined work has earned the brand numerous international accolades for the exceptional quality of its cuvées.
Abbotts & Delaunay
Originally founded by Nerida Abbott and Nigel Sneyd, passionate advocates of Languedoc’s terroirs, this boutique winery offers a curated selection of varietals, crus, and parcels. Acquired by Delaunay, it gained a unique Burgundy-inspired approach to wine interpretation. With Jeanne Delaunay’s leadership since July 2023, Abbotts & Delaunay benefits from a visionary dedicated to showcasing its wines and reinforcing the fusion of Burgundy and Languedoc traditions.
Les Jamelles
Established in 1995 by Catherine Delaunay with an innovative vision: France, like the New World, could excel in varietal winemaking. Leveraging the richness of Languedoc’s terroirs, Les Jamelles quickly became a beloved brand, expanding beyond single varietals to offer a diverse range, from parcel selections to orange wines. This brand exemplifies the discovery and understanding of terroirs that add unparalleled richness to its offerings.
Laurent Delaunay
Les Grappillages
Created by Laurent Delaunay, Les Grappillages is a modern and accessible collection that pays tribute to both Burgundy and Beaujolais. It offers authentic, elegant, and affordable wines designed to appeal to curious newcomers as well as loyal enthusiasts. Guided by a contemporary vision of the négociant tradition, the range highlights the great varietals of these two regions, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Chardonnay, with a fresh, sincere style. Inspired by a medieval tradition of hand-harvesting the final grape bunches, Les Grappillages embraces a return to simplicity and essentials. Les Grappillages also stands out with distinctive packaging featuring « Toile de Jouy » motifs, a nod to French refinement, decorative arts, and haute couture. Already acclaimed in the United States and the United Kingdom, the brand reflects Laurent Delaunay's ambition to democratize great Burgundy wines without compromising quality.
La Belle Angèle
La Belle Angèle offers a selection of varietal wines under the dynamic “Vins de France” category, inspired by the charm of the Roaring Twenties and inviting wine lovers to embrace the French art of living. This collection, combining tradition and innovation, stands out with its freshness and fruity notes, offering a simple yet authentic experience. Its distinctive packaging, featuring immersive illustrations that highlight the wine’s French origin and varietal, has made La Belle Angèle a benchmark in Europe and North America.
Grand Calcaire
Born from the vision of Laurent Delaunay, Grand Calcaire reflects a clear ambition: to uphold the original spirit of Chablis at a time when styles are rapidly evolving. A renowned oenologist and passionate advocate for terroir, Laurent Delaunay is committed to offering a faithful, demanding, and timeless interpretation of this great white Burgundy.
His approach seeks to reveal the purest expression of Chardonnay, without artifice, from the finest Kimmeridgian limestone soils. The result: wines of clarity and precision, defined by minerality and freshness, in line with the historic signature of the appellation.
The range spans four levels, Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru, each one capturing the unique character of its origin.
Grand Calcaire is a true classic, reimagined with finesse: a Chablis that is understated, elegant, and resolutely contemporary.
