✨ 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
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.
