Rating: Robert Parker 90–92/100, Bettane & Desseauve 17/20, Gault Millau 16/20, RVF 15/20
“The wine is beginning to develop some meaty notes, complemented by olives and black fruits. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with typical notes of tobacco and ink. It’s a fine expression of the hill’s granite soils. Very fine tannins.” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 – Bettane & Desseauve)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

At his new facilities in the heart of Tain, Jacques Grange has a magnificent, state-of-the-art facility at his disposal. He is assisted by Marco Beckmann, an Italian oenologist and expert taster. The upcoming 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 is itself 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 lineup by purchasing must or grapes. We admit to being a bit cautious at times regarding the overly pronounced aging profiles of the most prestigious vintages, which, in our opinion, would benefit from being crafted to highlight the fruit and freshness more closely. It’s worth noting that, since 2019, the winery has had a brand-new winemaking and reception facility in Tain.
