2021 Hermitage Domaines des Tourettes

Tasting notes:

A blend of three terroirs (L’Ermite, Le Sabot and les Bessards). Aged in French oak barrels up to 16 months, depending on the vintage. Powerful and complex with aromas of blackberry, cherry, spices and leather. Full-bodied, firm and silky on the palate with tight tannins. Great ageing potential.

Producer description:

Dating back to 1835, Maison Delas Freres has gone through restructuration programme in 1996 to restore the spirit and soul that contributed to its reputation for high quality wines. A new winery with the introduction of small 85 hl concrete vats was built, aiming to produce terroir-driven wines. They grow 30 hectares of vines inlcuding 10 hectares in Hermitage, 2 hectares in Saint-Joseph and 18 hectares in Crozes-Hermitage. They are mainly famous for their single vineyard Hermitage and Cote Rotie which have consistently received great reviews from international critics.
