✨ Technical Specifications
Delas Frères' Côte-Rôtie 'Seigneur de Maugiron' is a masterful expression of one of the Northern Rhône's most legendary appellations. The cuvée pays homage to the historic Sire de Maugiron, a prominent figure in local Renaissance history. This wine is crafted from a meticulous blend of grapes sourced from both the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde. The iron-rich, mica-schist soils of the Côte Brune impart structure, power, and deep dark-fruit character, while the lighter, limestone-rich soils of the Côte Blonde contribute elegance, silkiness, and floral aromatics. Traditionally vinified with temperature control and aged in oak barrels, this wine beautifully balances the power and finesse that define great Côte-Rôtie, offering complex notes of black fruits, licorice, and smoky tapenade.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1835 in the northern Rhône valley, Delas Frères has evolved from its origins in Tournon-sur-Rhône into one of the region's benchmark estates, acquiring its defining identity under the Delas family before becoming part of the Roederer Collection in 1993. Situated at its architecturally celebrated, gravity-fed winery in Tain-l'Hermitage, the house manages prestigious estate vineyards alongside curated négociant partnerships. The viticultural foundation is centered on the steep, south-facing granitic amphitheaters of Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, and Côte-Rôtie, supplemented by alluvial terraces in Crozes-Hermitage. Farmed under certified organic and High Environmental Value Level 3 standards, Delas practices rigorous parcel-by-parcel selections and gentle, temperature-regulated fermentations designed to preserve fruit purity and structural tension. Renowned for sculptural Syrah and opulent, mineral-laced Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier, Delas Frères expresses classic Rhône typicity through iconic cuvées such as Hermitage Les Bessards, Domaine des Tourettes, and Saint-Joseph Sainte-Épine.
