Edouard Delaunay

The Edouard Delaunay house was created in 1893 by Edouard Delaunay. Son of a Nantes wine merchant, he moved to Dijon and Nuits-Saint-Georges and bought the wine house of his father's Burgundian supplier. During the 20th century, the house is developing both in France and abroad specializing in the supply of major rail, sea and air companies, and distributing some major domains of the Côte de Nuits. In the early 1990s, almost a century after its creation, the family business was sold to a Burgundian trader. In 2017, Laurent Delaunay, great-grandson of the founder Edouard Delaunay, bought the family business with the ambition to make it a beautiful Burgundy house, old-fashioned, focused on high-end and excellence, mainly in Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. "My grandfather used to say that Delaunay House was 'the smallest of the big Houses'​. My ambition is to restore this rank even if I know that the bar is high "​- Laurent Delaunay
