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

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2023 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Tasted before release. Powerful, concentrated, deep nose with black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, the tannins are well integrated. This powerful wine already tastes very good, a style of wine that is very refined for the appellation.
About the estate:
In his new facilities in the heart of Tain, Jacques Grange has a sublime, state-of-the-art facility at his disposal. He is assisted by Marco Beckmann, an Italian oenologist and fine taster. The next vintages look promising. In Hermitage, the new cuvée from the Grandes Vignes at the top of the hill reveals this little-exploited terroir.

Founded in 1835, owned since 1977 by Champagne Deutz (Roederer group). Under the management of Fabrice Rosset and his technical director Jacques Grange, it has 30 hectares of its own in the northern appellations, supplemented by grape purchases, with the southern range coming from the négociant-éleveur section.

Wine rating (2022 guide) 90-92/100 (Outstanding wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
Tasted from the barrel, Chante Perdrix 2020 is typical of the cuvée, quite supple, with lush notes of raspberry and red plum. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it has a silky texture and an elegant, lingering finish.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Part of the Deutz champagne group since 1977, itself part of the Louis Roederer group, Delas is a serious wine producer. Priority has been given to vineyards with extensive mass selection planting. It cultivates 30 hectares of its own land, including 10 very well-placed hectares in Hermitage: 8 in Les Bessards and 2 in L'Ermite. The house completes its range with purchases of musts or grapes. We admit to being a little wary of the overly pronounced aging of the most prestigious cuvées, which we believe would benefit from being worked closer to the fruit and freshness. It should be noted that, since 2019, the house has had a brand new winemaking and reception facility in Tain.
