Burgundy Chardonnay from limestone-rich Côte d'Or soils; unoaked or minimal wood aging reveals mineral precision.
Edouard Delaunay operates in the heart of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, where Jurassic limestone and clay soils define the mineral spine of Chardonnay. This Septembre bottling—a village-level Bourgogne AOC—reflects the producer's commitment to terroir expression over oak manipulation.
The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel or neutral vessels, with minimal or no new oak aging, allowing the limestone minerality and primary fruit character to dominate. This restraint is the transgression: in a region where oak-aged Chardonnay commands premium pricing, Delaunay's approach privileges the soil's voice.
The result is a wine of crystalline acidity and saline minerality, typical of cooler-vintage or early-harvest Burgundy fruit. Drink 2–5 years from vintage for maximum freshness and textural precision.
Sommelier’s pick: Grilled sole with beurre blanc and capers · Crab bisque with tarragon · Roasted chicken with thyme and lemon
