✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of the historic 16th-century knight and governor of Vienne, Laurent de Maugiron, this Côte-Rôtie is a masterful expression of the Northern Rhône's legendary steep slopes. Delas crafts this cuvée by blending fruit sourced from both the Côte Blonde and the Côte Brune. This marriage of terroirs brings together the granite-rich, iron-heavy soils of the Brune, which impart structure and deep dark fruit, with the limestone-dominant soils of the Blonde, yielding floral elegance and silkiness. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in open concrete vats followed by aging in oak barrels, resulting in a classic Côte-Rôtie that balances power with remarkable finesse, marked by signature aromas of black fruits, licorice, and smoky bacon fat.
🍾 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.
