"A Crozes-Hermitage that's far too seductive!
"Sourced mainly from the Chassis region, with some vines located in the northern part of the appellation, Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes 2022 is charming and straightforward, with aromas of fragrant red fruits, lavender, bouquet garni and spicy, floral nuances. Medium-bodied, straightforward, with supple tannins and a fine finish. Drink between 2025 and 2035. (Jeb Dunnuck 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.

Rated domain (guide 2022) Recommended
About the wine:
An elegant, medium-bodied Crozes-Hermitage, with the fleshiness and firmness expected of this appellation. A certain stony minerality on the moderately dry finish. Pure Syrah with only 12.5% alcohol. To drink or to keep.
