Tasting Notes
There are two Côte Rôties and the top cuvée is the utterly sensational 2015 Côte Rôtie La Landonne, which should be a candidate for perfection when it's released. Coming all from the La Landonne lieu-dit and made from 100% Syrah that will see 18 months in 40% new French oak, it offers a huge, layered and ripe style, as well as notes of blueberries, blackberries, crushed violets, graphite and minerality. It has sweet tannin, but there are plenty of them, so it's not for those looking for instant gratification. (96-100) Jeb Dunnuck. 228, The Wine Advocate
Delas Frères is a historic Rhône Valley house founded in 1835, with a long tradition of producing wines that reflect the diversity and depth of the northern and southern Rhône. Based in Tournon-sur-Rhône, the domaine holds vineyards in some of the region’s most prestigious appellations, including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Cornas, Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, as well as key southern crus such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas.
Since the 1990s, under the direction of winemaker Jacques Grange, Delas has elevated its reputation with meticulous vineyard work, lower yields, and careful parcel selection. Farming is sustainable, and fruit from both estate-owned and long-term grower partnerships is vinified with precision and respect for site. In the cellar, fermentations are traditional but finely managed, with restrained extraction and thoughtful use of oak to preserve freshness and terroir character.
The wines combine Rhône typicity with polish: Syrah expressions that balance perfume and structure, and Grenache-based blends that show generosity and spice. Today, Delas Frères stands as a reference point for high-quality Rhône wines, bridging a long heritage with a modern commitment to clarity, balance and terroir-driven expression.
