“A powerful, concentrated, and deep nose with black fruit notes (blackberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, the tannins are well-integrated; this powerful wine is already very enjoyable— a style that shows great finesse for the appellation.” (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve 2023) It reveals a beautiful structure and a full-bodied profile characteristic of its terroir of origin.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2023 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Tasted prior to release. Powerful, concentrated, and deep on the nose, with black fruit aromas (blackberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, the tannins are well-integrated; this powerful wine is already very enjoyable—a wine with remarkable finesse for the appellation.
About the estate:
At his new facilities in the heart of Tain, Jacques Grange has a magnificent, state-of-the-art facility at his disposal. He is assisted by Marco Beckmann, an Italian oenologist and expert taster. The upcoming vintages look promising. In Hermitage, the new cuvée from the Grandes Vignes at the top of the hill brings this underutilized terroir into the spotlight.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 90–92/100 (Outstanding wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Tasted directly from the barrel, the 2020 Chante Perdrix is typical of this cuvée: quite supple, with lush notes of raspberry and red plum. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it has a silky texture and an elegant, lingering finish.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Part of the Deutz Champagne house since 1977—which is itself part of the Louis Roederer Group—Delas is a reputable winery. Priority has been given to vineyards with extensive mass-selection plantings. The house cultivates 30 hectares of its own vineyards, including 10 hectares in prime locations in Hermitage: 8 in Les Bessards and 2 in L’Ermite. The house rounds out its portfolio by purchasing must or grapes. We admit to being somewhat cautious at times regarding the overly pronounced aging profiles of its most prestigious cuvées, which, in our opinion, would benefit from being crafted to better highlight the fruit and freshness. It’s worth noting that, since 2019, the winery has had a brand-new winemaking and reception facility in Tain.
