"A concentrated and finely nuanced Condrieu".

"Complex nose of very ripe peaches, coconut and tropical flowers. Rich and silky with excellent concentration. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, very finely nuanced. Creamy midpalate, then silky on the very long finish. Aged in Burgundian oak barrels for a year, then six months on stainless steel lees." (James Suckling 2024)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

In his new facilities in the heart of Tain, Jacques Grange has at his disposal sublime, state-of-the-art equipment. He is assisted by Marco Beckmann, an Italian oenologist and wine taster. Future vintages look promising. In Hermitage, the new cuvée from the hilltop Grandes Vignes reveals this little-used terroir.

Founded in 1835 and owned by Champagne Deutz (Roederer group) since 1977.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

Delas has been part of Champagne Deutz since 1977, and is now part of the Louis Roederer group. Priority has been given to vineyards with a high proportion of massal selection plantings. The company has its own vineyards covering 30 hectares, including 10 in Hermitage: 8 at Les Bessards and 2 at L'Ermite. The company completes its range by purchasing musts and grapes. We confess to sometimes being a little circumspect when faced with the overly marked ageing of the most prestigious cuvées, which in our opinion deserve to be worked closer to the fruit and freshness. It should be noted that, as of 2019, the house has a brand-new vinification and reception facility in Tain.
