Delaunay Vins & Domaines is a family-owned group founded in 1995 by Laurent and Catherine Delaunay. Our rare and valuable expertise lies in the art of winemaking. With the same passion, precision, and commitment to excellence, we craft a Chambertin Grand Cru for Edouard Delaunay, a Pinot Noir from Domaine de la Métairie d’Alon, or a Chardonnay for Les Jamelles.
The headquarters of Delaunay Vins & Domaines is located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, nestled in the heart of a vineyard landscape. This site houses our commercial, marketing, and financial activities, as well as production planning and online sales operations, supported by warehouses dedicated to order preparation and shipping.
Near Carcassonne, in the small commune of Monze, stands one of the most advanced production facilities in Languedoc. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, it is here, amidst the limestone chaos of the Corbières, that we carefully select wines and oversee the management of our three estates.
From Édouard Delaunay’s Grand Crus to single-varietal wines, our production spectrum is exceptionally broad. This allows us to collaborate with major distribution players: wine shop chains, online retailers, wholesalers, and restaurateurs. We also rely on a robust network of importers who distribute our brands internationally. In France, we operate an online sales platform complemented by direct-to-consumer sales activities.
Our commercial teams are primarily based in France, but we also have offices in London, Shanghai, Tokyo, and soon, in Vietnam.
