Description

The Magnum format of Delas Freres' Cotes Du Rhone Saint Esprit Rouge elevates the tasting experience of this beloved red wine, making it even more special. The Magnum presentation is not only impressive to look at, but also contributes to a slower and more gradual aging of the wine, allowing the Saint Esprit Rouge to further develop its complexity and aromas over time.

This wine is a harmonious blend of Syrah, for its structure and depth, and Grenache, which adds softness and fruitiness, typical of the expression of the terroirs of the Rhone Valley. The winemaking aims to underline these characteristics, with a fermentation managed to preserve the freshness of the fruit, followed by a refinement that combines steel and wood, to maintain the balance between the primary flavors of the fruit and those derived from the wood.

Visually, the Saint Esprit Rouge in Magnum format maintains its fascinating ruby red color, inviting tasting. The nose is an explosion of aromas of red and black fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, with spicy notes of pepper and a touch of aromatic herbs that add an intriguing and complex dimension.

In the mouth, the wine is rich and structured, with soft tannins that envelop the palate, and a lively acidity that enhances its fruity flavours, leading to a long and satisfying finish. The greater capacity of the Magnum offers the wine the opportunity to evolve in the bottle, developing greater harmony and roundness over time.

Perfect for special occasions or as a meaningful gift, the Cotes Du Rhone Saint Esprit Rouge Magnum is also ideal for accompanying convivial dinners, where its generous and welcoming character can be shared and appreciated by all guests. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from grilled red meats to dishes rich in Mediterranean flavors, to medium-aged cheeses.

The choice of the Magnum format for the Saint Esprit Rouge testifies to Delas Freres' attention to quality and presentation, offering wine lovers a unique experience that combines the elegance and complexity of the best wines of the Rhône Valley with the joy of sharing.

Winery history

Founded as a trading business in the 19th century, the house has documented roots dating back to 1835. Throughout the 20th century the family expanded the business and the company adopted the name Delas Frères. More recently it was acquired by the Rouzaud group and underwent a revitalization: in the 1990s technical and agronomic investments were strengthened, the estate progressively expanded its vineyard holdings and, after renovation work and new acquisitions, opened modern winemaking facilities in Tain-l’Hermitage between 2015 and 2019.

Production philosophy

Enhancing the territory and individual parcels, putting people and vineyard management at the center of the work. The estate adopts an "own sourcing" approach and favors winemaking practices that respect the expression of the terroir: parcel-by-parcel vinification, predominant use of destemmed grapes, cold macerations, extended lees contact, and reduced interventions such as fining or filtration on the top cuvées.

Terroir and vineyards

Operates mainly in the Northern Rhône with its own vineyards and single‑parcel wines. The maison also works with parcels and partners to produce typical AOCs such as Condrieu, Côte‑Rôtie and Cornas, and offers Southern Rhône wines through purchases/contracts.

Awards and recognitions

Individual high-end cuvées have received high scores and accolades from critics and specialist publications; the most prestigious bottlings are frequently rated highly in tasting notes.
