Delas Frères - Côtes-du-Rhône Saint-Esprit rouge 2023
91/100
James Suckling
"A lively Côtes-du-Rhône".
"A very satisfying Côtes-du-Rhône, with an excellent balance between generous red fruit aromas and delicate spicy notes, with remarkably fine tannins for an entry-level wine. These support a long, velvety finish. A cuvée composed of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. To enjoy or to keep. (James Suckling 2025)

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.

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.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 06/06/2025
A predominance of Syrah provides body and volume, while the addition of Grenache brings great finesse and intensity to the crisp, slightly sweet red fruit, enhanced by spices and delicate notes of garrigue and undergrowth. Framed by solid, yet supple and mellow tannins, these juicy flavors persist on the palate through to a slightly mineral finish. This attractive, attractively priced cuvée would be a delightful accompaniment to a dish of eggplants stuffed with oven-grilled Alpine lamb. Score = 4.1.
