Laurent Delaunay resurrects family’s Burgundian estate

Jan 15, 2019

(TDB) - Laurent Delaunay, president of Badet Clément, is going to relaunch his family’s Burgundian estate this February at Wine Paris, having reacquired it from the Boisset family in 2017.
The estate, eponymously named after Laurent’s great grandfather Edouard Delaunay, will be relaunched at the Wine Paris show on 11 February.


Founded in 1893 by Edouard Delaunay and based at the Château de Charmont in the Hauts Côtes de Nuits, the estate was one of Burgundy’s leading names for nearly a century and was widely exported.


In the UK during the 1970s and ‘80s it was represented by David Peppercorn MW and Serena Sutcliffe MW and was listed in places such as Harrods, Harvey Nichols and The Savoy.
By 1992 however, illness forced then director Jean-Marie Delaunay (Laurent’s father) to sell the estate and it was bought by Boisset.
