“Brilliant, the 2011 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes offers notes of orange blossom, honey, tropical fruit, and minerality. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with crystalline purity all the way through the finish. I am impressed by this classic Hermitage, which will offer more than two decades of enjoyment.” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker) A beautifully crafted Hermitage!

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) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

The 2011 Marquise de la Tourette white—mineral, fresh, even lively, and slightly toasty—is mentioned.

About the estate:

Founded in 1835, the house has been owned by Champagne Deutz (Roederer Group) since 1977. Under the leadership of Fabrice Rosset and his technical director, Jacques Grange, it owns 30 hectares of vineyards in the northern appellations, supplemented by purchased grapes; the southern range comes from the négociant-éleveur division.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

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.
