✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Rhône house of Delas Frères, this Viognier is sourced from the sun-drenched hillsides of the Pays d'Oc in southern France. While Delas is legendary for its Northern Rhône crus, this selection showcases their expertise with the temperamental Viognier grape—a variety that famously neared extinction in the mid-20th century before its dramatic global renaissance. To preserve the grape's signature exotic aromatics and delicate floral character, Delas vinifies this wine entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, avoiding oak contact to deliver a pure, vibrant expression of fresh stone fruits and honeysuckle.
🍾 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.
