"Tasted blind, the 2018 Côte Rôtie Seigneur de Maugiron displays a rich nose of purple fruits, alongside herbal, mocha, and peppery notes. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, its silky texture is nonetheless slightly taut and lively due to its lively acidity." (Wine Advocate 2019)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

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.

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.

A lovely roast rib, though still a bit young. Let it age for another 2 or 3 years.
