This cuvée is a blend of wines made exclusively from Syrah vines planted in the southern Ardèche. A red wine expressing powerful aromas, both fruity and wild, typical of the Syrah grape variety. On the palate, full-bodied flavors come to full fruition against a background of fruity, suave wine...

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 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

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, it has its own 30 ha in the northern appellations, supplemented by grape purchases, with the southern range coming from the négociant-éléveur side.

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.

Note and review by M. JEAN S. Published on 07/06/2018

A first tasting disappointed me. Slight. To be reviewed in a few months, as I've already had some pleasant surprises with syrah.
