✨ Technical Specifications
Delas Frères 'Chante-Perdrix' is a classic expression of the rugged and steep Cornas appellation in the Northern Rhône. The name 'Chante-Perdrix', translating to 'singing partridge', pays homage to the wild partridges that seek refuge on the sun-baked, south-facing granite terraces of this historic region. Grown on steep slopes of decomposed granite, known locally as 'chaillot', the Syrah grapes benefit from intense heat retention, yielding a wine of immense power and structure. Delas crafts this cuvée using traditional fermentation followed by careful aging in oak barrels, resulting in a deeply colored, robust red that beautifully balances dark fruit, savory olive tapenade, and cracked black pepper notes with a stony minerality.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1835 by Charles Audibert and Philippe Delas, Maison Delas Frères is an iconic Rhône Valley estate headquartered in Tain-l'Hermitage. Now part of the Champagne Louis Roederer family of estates, the house underwent a major quality renaissance through modern cellar innovations and meticulous vineyard stewardship across both the Northern and Southern Rhône. Delas manages prestigious parcels across heralded appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Renowned for its precision winemaking, the estate crafts deeply expressive, terroir-driven wines, from powerful, mineral-tinged Syrahs like Les Bessards and La Landonne to aromatic, textural Viogniers like Clos Boucher.
