✨ Technical Specifications
An assortment case from the historic house of Delas Frères offers a curated journey through the diverse and legendary terroirs of the Rhône Valley. Established in 1835, Delas has spent nearly two centuries perfecting the art of plot-by-plot vinification. This collection typically unites the majestic, structured Syrahs of the Northern Rhône—such as Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Crozes-Hermitage—with the opulent, sun-drenched Grenache-dominated blends of the Southern Rhône, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Each bottle in the assortment showcases Delas's signature style: a harmonious balance of intense fruit purity, refined tannic structure, and deep terroir expression, crafted in their state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery in Tain-l'Hermitage.
🍾 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.
