“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 is remarkably refined 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, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
Pre-release tasting. Powerful, concentrated, and deep on the nose, with black fruit notes (blackberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, the tannins are well-integrated; this powerful wine is already very enjoyable, offering a style that is remarkably refined for the appellation.
About the estate:
At his new facilities in the heart of Tain, Jacques Grange has a superb, state-of-the-art facility at his disposal. He is assisted by Marco Beckmann, an Italian oenologist and expert taster. The coming vintages look promising. In Hermitage, the new cuvée from the Grandes Vignes at the top of the hill brings this underutilized terroir to the forefront.

About the estate:
Founded in 1835, the house has been owned by Champagne Deutz (Roederer Group) since 1977. Under the leadership of Fabrice Rosset and his technical director Jacques Grange, it owns 30 hectares of vineyards in the northern appellations, supplemented by purchased grapes; the southern range comes from the négociant-éleveur division.

Rated wine (2022 guide) 90–92/100 (Excellent wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Tasted from the barrel, the 2020 Chante Perdrix is typical of the vintage: 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 itself is 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 very well-located plots in Hermitage: 8 in Les Bessards and 2 in L'Ermite. The house rounds out its range with purchases of must or grapes. We admit to being somewhat cautious at times regarding the overly pronounced aging of the most prestigious vintages, which, in our opinion, would benefit from being crafted with a greater emphasis on fruit and freshness. It is worth noting that, since 2019, the winery has had a brand-new winemaking and reception facility in Tain.
