WINE DESCRIPTION

Delas Chante Perdrix Cornas is a premium red wine produced by Delas Freres, a renowned winery in the Rhone Valley. The wine comes from the Cornas appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The Chante Perdrix vineyard, where the grapes are sourced, is situated on a south-facing slope, which allows for optimal sun exposure and ripening of the Syrah grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Delas Chante Perdrix Cornas is a full-bodied wine with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish, making it a perfect choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This unfiltered and unoaked, 100% Syrah from Delas is a bold and intense expression of Cornas.Aromas of savory herbs, smoked meats, and peppery spices lead to a palate of dark fruit and earthy flavors. The tannins are well-structured and the finish is long and intense. Enjoy this wine now for its bold and rustic character or age it for an even more complex experience.

ORIGINS

Winery: Delas

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
