Maison Delas Frères

Founded in 1835, Maison Delas Frères, , has now regained all the splendor and spirit that contributed to its renown. Owned by the Champagne house Deutz, Maison Delas Frères has undergone significant investment (new vats, complete restructuring of the aging cellar) and has assembled a highly motivated team, led by Jacques Grange, who is proudly contributing to the qualitative renewal of this great Rhône Valley wine merchant.

Delas Frères cultivates 30 hectares of vineyards in the Rhône Valley: 10 hectares in the Hermitage appellation, 2 in the Saint-Joseph AOC, and 18 in Crozes-Hermitage. A selection of the best terroirs and a supply of grapes at optimal ripeness complete the production process. Delas Frères is committed to respecting the specific characteristics of each terroir, whether on its own properties or in its grape supplies. The plots of the best terroirs are thus vinified and aged separately before being blended to reveal the profound character of the wines of each Delas Frères appellation. The grapes are harvested manually at optimal ripeness and destemmed in their entirety to avoid overly harsh and herbaceous tannins. Vinification is carried out in the traditional manner. Depending on the vintage, the red wines are aged in Burgundy barrels for between 12 and 24 months, while the whites are aged on fine lees for between 6 and 8 months to develop body and structure.
