Delas Frères - Vacqueyras Domaine des Genêts 2015
88-90/100
Robert Parker
“The 2015 Vacqueyras Les Genêts is yet another successful vintage from Jacques Grange. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, straightforward and smooth on the palate, with impressive notes of blackcurrant, black raspberries, violets, and a hint of meatiness, it features soft tannins and a beautiful balance.” (Wine Advocate 2016 – Robert Parker)

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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in 1835, the estate 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 is sourced from the négociant-éleveur division.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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. It owns and cultivates 30 hectares, 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 focus on fruit and freshness. It is worth noting that, since 2019, the winery has had a brand-new winemaking and reception facility in Tain.
