"Powerful, concentrated, deep nose of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, the tannins are well coated, this powerful wine already tastes very well, a style of wine all in finesse for the appellation." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve 2023) It reveals a fine structure and a full-bodied profile characteristic of its terroir of origin.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2023) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Tasted before bottling. Powerful, concentrated, deep nose of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, the tannins are well coated, this powerful wine already tastes very well, a style of wine with great finesse for the appellation.
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Founded in 1835 and owned by Champagne Deutz (Roederer group) since 1977. Under the direction of Fabrice Rosset and his technical director Jacques Grange, the company has 30 hectares of its own vineyards in the northern appellations, supplemented by grape purchases, with the southern range coming from the négociant-éléveur side of the business.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2022) 90-92/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Tasted in barrel, Chante Perdrix 2020 is typical of the cuvée, quite supple, with lush notes of raspberry and red plum. Medium- to full-bodied, it has a silky texture and lingers elegantly on the finish.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
