“It would be hard not to appreciate this beautifully balanced Gigondas. A wonderful nose of fresh plums, with subtle earthy notes and a herbaceous freshness. The palate is fairly concentrated, medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a wonderful interplay between deep fruit aromas and just enough acidity to make the finish lively, where the fine tannins unfold gently. ” (James Suckling 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
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 (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
With aromas of black cherries, peonies, flowers, and wild black berries, the 2022 Gigondas Les Reinages is already showing itself at its best. It offers a medium-bodied to full-bodied palate, dense and fleshy, with a harmonious structure and velvety tannins at perfect maturity, finishing with a long, mineral, and taut finish. This blend, composed of 80% Grenache Noir and 20% Syrah, shows great promise.

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.
Wine Spectator
Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100 (Exceptional wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Spectator)
About the wine:
The notes of cherry coulis and plum fruit paste are juicy and alluring, while the savory acidity and rooibos tea provide a counterpoint. It displays intensity, offering a salty, mineral, and well-defined finish, with hints of iron in the background. Elegant and alluring.
Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
Rich and pure, this wine reveals intense aromas of black and red plums, an explosion of violets, and a hint of smoke, all while retaining its graceful purity. The textured palate is supported by velvety tannins, with notes of red fruit that continue to evolve. Ideal for pairing with hearty, spicy dishes, where its spicy nuances come into their own.
