About Delas Wines
Delas Frères, founded in 1835 in the northern Rhône Valley, is a historic wine producer renowned for crafting high-quality Syrah-based wines. After merging with Champagne Deutz in 1977 and later being acquired by the Rouzaud family (owners of Champagne Louis Roederer) in 1993, Delas underwent major revitalization, focusing on quality and innovation. Their vineyards span prestigious appellations like Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, and Saint-Joseph, producing acclaimed wines such as "Les Bessards," "Domaine des Tourettes," and "La Landonne." In 2020, they opened a state-of-the-art winery in Tain-l’Hermitage, blending modern technology with sustainable architecture.
Today, Delas Frères is celebrated for wines that reflect the depth and character of the Rhône Valley terroirs, with offerings that range from powerful Hermitage reds to elegant Côte-Rôtie cuvées. Visitors can explore the estate through guided tours and tastings that highlight the house's rich heritage and dedication to craftsmanship
