Laurent Delaunay – Owner of Maison Edouard Delaunay
Great Founder
“In a few years, Edouard Delaunay has made a remarkable comeback in the very closed circle of the great Burgundy Maisons. As we did for the inclusion of the Climats of Burgundy as a UNESCO World Heritage, it seemed only natural to me to contribute by actively supporting the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne as Grand Founder, thus showing our attachment and our gratitude to the unique terroirs, history and culture that have made Burgundy what we are.”
Maison Louis Jadot – Pierre Henry-Gagey
Great Founder
“The Cité is the major project of the 2020s following on from the inclusion of the Climats as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is part of both respect for history and the Burgundian tradition in an idea of permanent search for progress of a living Burgundy turned towards the future.”
