Delas Frères - Côte-Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron 2018
88-90/100
Robert Parker
"Tasted blind, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron shows a full nose of purple fruit, alongside herbaceous, mocha and peppery nuances. Medium- to full-bodied, its silky texture is nonetheless a little taut and nervous due to its lively acidity." (Wine Advocate 2019)

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 at his disposal 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.

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, since 2019, the house has had a brand-new vinification and reception facility in Tain.

A fine roast rib, still a little young. Wait another 2 or 3 years.
