Order wine : Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes Red 2022 - Delas Frères
From the estate
Parker Score: 94/100
Reviewer: Yohan Castaing
Tasting Period: 2028 – 2040
Produced from vines located in two sectors of the Hermitage hillside—Les Bessards (seven hectares) and Les Grandes Vignes (two hectares, the highest plots on the hillside)—the 2022 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes reveals a pure and elegant bouquet, blending flowers, black fruits, and spices, enhanced with subtle notes of licorice.
On the palate, the wine is both structured and refined, with velvety, finely chiseled tannins. The structure is energetic, supported by a beautiful acidity that energizes the mid-palate. The finish, long, airy, and delicate, expresses great freshness.
This superb Hermitage exudes remarkable energy and precision. It will benefit from a few years of aging to fully integrate its maturation. The wine was aged entirely in oak barrels (25% new), and only the part from the Grandes Vignes underwent fermentation with 80% whole bunches.
