"Little flowers in a bottle

Les Launes white has a floral profile, evoking hawthorn, verbena and lime blossom, with exotic touches of mango, lychee and citrus. Fresh and fruity on the palate, this pleasantly supple white is perfect with grilled fish.

Expert opinion

Domain rated (2023 guide) 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 access to 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.

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. Delas 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, since 2019, the house has had a brand-new vinification and reception facility in Tain.

About the wine:

[...] The palate has good tension and a phenolic touch, very dry and with good fruit underneath.
