Robert Parker
"At this price, the 2015 Grignan-les-Adhémar is a bargain. With a ruby/purple color as well as round, upright notes of cherries, jammy raspberries, spices and garrigue, you'll enjoy this medium-bodied, charming, drinkable, but far from simple wine over the next 4-5 years." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Founded in 1835, since 1977 owned by Champagne Deutz (Roederer group). Under the management 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 negociant-breeder side.

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.

Note and review by M. DOMINIQUE S. Published on 21/01/2018
Purple color, astringent and bitter wine. A very ordinary, uninteresting wine. To be avoided.
