Abbotts & Delaunay 1 Items Follow

Founded in 1996 in the small village of Marseillette, east of Carcassonne, Abbotts & Delaunay began as the vision of Nerida Abbott. In 2005, Laurent Delaunay acquired the estate, bringing with him five generations of Burgundian négociant heritage. A long-time advocate for the Languedoc’s potential, Laurent has led several notable projects across the region. The vineyards benefit from a unique landscape stretching from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, with diverse soils—sandstone, marl, limestone, and schist—that contribute to the wines’ distinctive character and strong sense of place.

Today, winemaking is led by Laurent’s daughter, Jeanne Delaunay, whose experience includes Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Thibault Liger-Belair, and Coldstream Hills in Australia. Under her direction, the winery focuses on estate-grown fruit while partnering with growers throughout the region, always emphasizing terroir. Guided by a Burgundian philosophy, Jeanne prioritizes balance, elegance, and purity, ensuring that winemaking enhances rather than masks the natural expression of the land.
