Abbotts Delaunay
A collaboration between Burgundian winemaker Laurent Delaunay and Australian-born Nerida Abbott, Abbotts & Delaunay's roots stem from Nerida's interest in the Languedoc region and her efforts to create premium wines from this underrated region of southern France.
Located at a crossroads between the Languedoc's most impressive regions: Limoux, Corbieres and Minervois, Abbots & Delaunay centers itself in Marseillette, on land cultivated under vine since the early 19th century. Joined by Vincent Charleux, another winemaker whom since an early age, had a penchant for making wine, Abbots & Delaunay produces fine Syrah, Grenache and Carignan blends from the heart of the region where the blistering Mediterranean sun creates ripe, fruit-driven wines with a rustic charm. Here, tiny parcels of hand-selected old vines thrive in a plethora of soil types, each imprinting its characteristic qualities on the vines grown within.
