NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Delas La Landonne Côte-Rôtie is a remarkable example of the Côte-Rôtie appellation.On the nose, it offers aromas of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and ripe blackberry, along with a hint of herbs and spices. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with an intense and juicy character. The tannins are bold yet polished, and the finish is long and lingering. This is an excellent expression of Côte-Rôtie, delivering an intensity of flavor and a beautiful balance.

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.
