Today we'd like to introduce you to one of our partner estates: Domaine Delas Fr\u00e8res<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Delas Fr\u00e8res is one of the best-known Rh\u00f4ne wine producers in a large number of appellations. They produce exceptional wines in the C\u00f4te-R\u00f4tie and Hermitage appellations in the northern Rh\u00f4ne (Septentrional). They are also known for producing some of the finest wines in the region. They also have one of the longest histories in the appellation.<\/p>\n

History of the domain :\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Delas was founded in 1835 when Charles Audibert and Philippe Delas bought a wine trading company. They acquired a wine trading company. The company enjoyed phenomenal success after the Second World War, to the point where its wines were sold in America. In 1977, the Deutz Champagne House took over the business, which changed the way the company was run and developed. Roederer bought the house from Delas and Deutz in 1993, enabling the Rhone-Alpes company to return to a healthy equilibrium. He then entrusted Fabrice Rosset with the task of redirecting the company. This led to a number of changes, including a new winery, a new cellar, the restoration of low walls in the vineyards and the replanting of 7,000 vines. They have also acquired new vines in the Crozes Hermitage appellation. This brought the total vineyard area to 30 hectares. In 1997, thanks to Fabrice Rosset, Jacques Granges joined Delas Fr\u00e8res as Technical Director. This new collaboration was to prove decisive for the estate and its wines. There are many aspects to this job, such as changes in viticulture, renovation of low walls and replacement of numerous vines.<\/p>\n

The estate today :\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In April 2006, they continued to grow and strengthen their vineyard by adopting two vineyards of 6 to 12 hectares in the Crozes-Hermitage area, at a place called Les Chassis. The new appropriation of the whole vineyard exploited by the house is 30 hectares. The estate's wine has been christened \"Domaine des Grands Chemins\", heralding a new phase in the Delas brothers' ownership. Fabrice Rosset is further developing this strategy by resorting to strict AOC Hermitage sourcing. The Delas brothers showcase Domaine des Tourettes, part of their famous \"Hermitage Les Bessards\" parcel wine list. These wines are produced exclusively from the vineyards worked by the house. In 2005, Claire Darnaud-Mckerrow joined the team, along with her colleague Jacques Grange. They focus on technical aspects such as oxygenation and bottling.<\/p>\n

They are back with the production of the plot-based white wine \"le Saint Epine\" in the AOC St Joseph in the fabulous 2014 vintage. Their motto is \"to place man and wine at the center of the terroir\". To mark the 180th anniversary of the Maison, the Deutz brothers and the Delas group set about conquering a property in Tain-L'hermitage. This property will showcase the values that the Delas brothers uphold, creating a place where the art of sharing will be at the forefront.<\/p>\n

They have replaced the old steel vats with better containers (85 hl), which are small concrete vats. They allow for better yields with batches of grapes and a better temperature. 2015 heralds a renewal of the Hermitage hillside.<\/p>\n
