Delas Frères - Côte-Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron 2018
88-90/100
Robert Parker
"Tasted blind, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron displays a generous nose of purple fruit, alongside herbaceous, mocha, and peppery nuances. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, its silky texture is nevertheless a little tense and nervous due to its lively acidity." (Wine Advocate 2019)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
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.

About wine:
Tasted blind, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron displays a full nose of purple fruits, alongside herbaceous, mocha, and peppery nuances. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, its silky texture is nevertheless a little tense and nervous due to its lively acidity.

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.

Note and opinion by Mr. JEAN LUC V. Published on 11/14/2022
A beautiful Côte Rôtie that is still a little young. Wait another 2 or 3 years.
