COTE ROTIE LA LANDONNE 2018 DELAS
Since 1996, the venerable Maison Delas Frères, whose roots go back to 1835, has regained the soul and sparkle that have contributed to its fame.
Under the impetus of the new management, numerous investments were made on the Saint-Jean-de-Muzols production site, near Tournon-sur-Rhône.
A motivated team proudly participates in the qualitative renewal of this Grande Maison in the Rhône Valley: a vat room specially designed for the vinification of red wines, the complete restructuring of the aging cellar are among the key elements of the House's quality approach. Delas, summed up in one sentence: to perpetuate and sublimate the expression of the Terroir.
On this AOC, located at the northern end of the Rhône Valley, the very famous cuvée "La Landonne" from Delas Frères (100% Syrah) is a plot selection whose production hardly exceeds 2.500 bottles per vintage, exclusively in the great years.COTES DU RHONE WISDOM DOMAINE GRAMENON 2019

Gigondas les Grames 2022 Domaine des Espiers 75cl
It is in 1989 that the area of Espiers was born in Vacqueyras, when Philippe Cartoux decided to walk in the footsteps of his grandparents who owned a vineyard in the family since 1879.
The vineyard now covers 9,5 hectares including 3 to Gigondas , 4 en Cotes du Rhone et 2,5 en Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Sablet . The grape variety is very largely dominated by the 3 main Rhone grape varieties, namely Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines are in reasoned fight and do not receive any chemical treatment. In general, the gestures are all part of a logic of respect for the terroir and the environment, with in particular yields of less than 35 hl/ha.
The harvest is manual for traditional vinification and aging taking place in oak barrels. Philippe Cartoux likes to develop robust, gourmet but also refined wines.
The grape variety is not classic since it is 65% Grenache noir and 35% Syrah. The nature of the soil is clay-limestone, and the yield for the traditional vintage is faithful to the decree of the appellation, i.e. 35 hl. The vinification is traditional, without destemming, cold at the beginning, then raised to temperature (35°) and stripped in order to extract maximum fruit. The harvest is carried out manually and the cultivation of the soil is mechanical (without chemical weedkillers) the wines are generally unfiltered. Aging is carried out for 6 months in 225 liter barrels.
