In 1993 Deutz and Delas Freres approached the Roederer Group becoming part of their team soon afterwards, further cementing the Delas philosophy of quality and dedication. In 2006 they expanded their holdings, buying 2 significant parcels in Crozes-Hermitage, which explains why their Crozes is exceptional. In 2015 to celebrate the Delas Frere 180th anniversary the Deutz-Delas group purchased a new property to build a state-of-the-art winery to ferment the highest quality appellation wines. A rich history which explains the quality in each and every one of their wines.
Cornas 2019, oh what a wine, appellation rules state Cornas must be 100% Syrah, and from a stonking vintage 2019 and from a winery steeped in tradition, knowledge, and pedigree, which shines in the bottle.

a heady bouquet of blackberries, violets, red and black liquorice, white pepper, and smoky nuances.

supple, smooth and seamless are words that spring to mind, endorsed by the dense core of fruit with fine grain tannins that frame the fruit, accounting for the superb balance of fruit and structure. There are layers of complexity, yet a freshness and with concentration, all allowing bottle development when stored in a temperature-controlled cellar. Stunning but needs 10-15years+ and will match with roast lamb or beef.
