Very powerful thanks to the abundant healthy tannins that feel finer the farther back the wine flows over your palate. Full-bodied, but with an excellent freshness, the tannins building to an imposing crescendo at the plush finish. Mainly from the Cote Brune section of this appellation. A pure syrah matured exclusively in Burgundian oak barrels, of which almost a third were new. Best from 2027.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e16\/20\u003cbr\u003e2022 Vintage · Tasted: Sep 2023\u003cbr\u003eWhen to drink: 2026–2035\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cuvée is a blend of grapes from the Côte Brune and Côte Blonde. Average Delas production is 15,000 to 20,000 bottles (75 cl) per year. Grape variety: 100% Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for the “Seigneur de Maugiron” cuvée are harvested by hand, plot by plot, at optimal ripeness. Vinification is carried out traditionally in open concrete vats after two days of cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation continues at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30°C, with daily punching down and pumping over for about ten days. Total maceration time can reach 20 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is aged for 14 to 16 months, half in new barrels and half in one-year-old barrels, with regular racking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the wine is a very dark purple. On the nose, the Côte-Rôtie “Seigneur de Maugiron,” powerful yet elegant, is marked by aromas of blackcurrant, redcurrant, and licorice, underpinned by a light oak influence. This wine, with its firm tannic structure, displays a beautiful balance and a silky texture. It combines impressive concentration with great finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelas Frères is an estate based in the northern Rhône Valley, particularly known for its Syrah-based wines from the Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie and Crozes-Hermitage appellations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delas family have been involved in wine production in the Rhône Valley since 1835, taking the current name in 1924.
