Description

The Cote Rotie Seigneur De Maugiron by Delas Freres is a refined and complex example that tells the history and tradition of Côte-Rôtie through the glass. Produced by one of the most esteemed wineries in the Rhône Valley, this wine is a tribute to the richness and diversity of one of France's most emblematic terroirs.

Made mainly with Syrah grapes, with a small percentage of Viognier to add aromatic complexity and softness to the palate, Seigneur De Maugiron represents the quintessence of elegance and power. The co-fermentation of the two varieties, following a traditional practice of the region, allows us to obtain a wine of extraordinary expressiveness and harmony.

Visually, the wine presents itself with a deep red color, embellished with violet reflections that underline its vitality. On the nose, the bouquet is a rich mix of aromas: notes of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and blueberries blend with delicate floral accents, inherited from Viognier, and with touches of spices, black pepper and a subtle hint of black olive, which give depth and complexity.

On the palate, the Seigneur De Maugiron reveals itself with a solid structure, supported by well-integrated tannins and a lively acidity that leads towards a persistent and aromatically rich finish. The texture is seductive, with a perfect balance between strength and finesse, which leaves room for a range of flavors that faithfully reflect the nose, enriched by a light note of vanilla and chocolate, the result of barrel aging.

Ideal as an accompaniment to robust and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, game dishes or mature cheeses, Cote Rotie Seigneur De Maugiron is also a meditation wine, which invites you to discover and appreciate the most subtle details of the his character.

Representing Delas Freres' passion and expertise in winemaking, Cote Rotie Seigneur De Maugiron is a living testament to the greatness of the Côte-Rôtie terroir, offering an unforgettable tasting experience for wine lovers seeking authentic and profound expressions .

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.
