Descrizione

The Cote Rotie La Landonne by Delas Freres is a wine that captures the essence of the unique terroir of Côte-Rôtie, one of the most prestigious appellations of the northern Rhône Valley. Produced exclusively from Syrah grapes, grown on the steep slopes of La Landonne, one of the most renowned vineyards in the region, this wine represents the pinnacle of Delas Freres' viticultural expression, combining power, elegance and complexity.

The particular position of the vineyard, its optimal exposure and the shale-rich soil contribute to giving the wine an exceptional aromatic concentration and a refined tannic structure. Delas Freres' winemaking philosophy aims to respect and enhance these unique characteristics, through a careful winemaking process that includes fermentation in open vats and long aging in French oak barriques.

At sight, Cote Rotie La Landonne shows a deep, almost impenetrable ruby red color, which anticipates the richness of the wine. On the nose, it offers an intense profusion of aromas: ripe black fruits such as blackberries and cassis, enriched by spicy notes of black pepper, liquorice and a light hint of smoke and minerality, which reflect the complexity of the soil of origin.

In the mouth, the wine demonstrates controlled power, with silky yet structured tannins that intertwine harmoniously with the natural acidity of the Syrah. The richness of flavors faithfully follows the olfactory profile, adding layers of complexity with hints of chocolate, coffee and a touch of vanilla, the result of the elevation in wood. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that maintains a surprising freshness and liveliness, typical of the best Côte-Rôtie wines.

Ideal in combination with intense and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, game and mature cheeses, the Cote Rotie La Landonne by Delas Freres is a wine that invites contemplation, capable of evolving magnificently in the glass and offering a tasting experience of rare pleasure.

This wine not only expresses the winemaking mastery of Delas Freres, but also celebrates the unique terroir of La Landonne, offering enthusiasts and collectors the chance to discover the depth and elegance that only the great wines of Côte-Rôtie can offer.

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.
