✨ Technical Specifications
Delas's Hermitage 'Domaine des Tourettes' Blanc is a majestic expression of Northern Rhône white winemaking, sourced from the steep, granite-rich slopes of the legendary Hermitage hill, specifically from the climats of L'Ermite, Le Sabot, and La Tourette. Historically known as 'Marquise de la Tourette', this wine pays homage to the noble heritage of the region. Crafted from Marsanne, the grapes undergo traditional vinification with a portion fermented in French oak barrels, followed by extensive lees stirring to build its signature opulent texture. The terroir's granite soils impart a striking mineral backbone that balances the wine's natural richness, yielding complex aromas of white flowers, beeswax, toasted brioche, and ripe peaches.
🍾 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.
