Descrizione

The Cotes Du Rhone Saint Esprit Blanc by Delas Freres is an exquisite example of how the Rhone Valley can also express itself through its white wines, offering a tasting experience that combines freshness and complexity. This wine is the result of the careful selection of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and other local varieties, which give the blend a perfect balance between body and acidity, enriched by a fascinating aromatic scent.

Winemaking aims to preserve the varietal characteristics and freshness of the fruit. The process includes temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by a short period of maturation on the yeasts, to increase the complexity of the wine without overpowering its natural liveliness.

Visually, Saint Esprit Blanc presents a light straw yellow color, with brilliant reflections that anticipate its freshness. On the nose, the wine reveals a rich and inviting bouquet, with notes of white pulp fruit, such as peach and pear, enriched by floral nuances and a light mineral touch that adds elegance and depth.

In the mouth, the wine demonstrates a surprising freshness, supported by a lively acidity which enhances its fruity flavors and guarantees pleasant drinking. The texture is soft, with a light creaminess that contributes to a harmonious and well-structured palate. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a delicately aromatic aftertaste that lingers pleasantly.

Cotes Du Rhone Saint Esprit Blanc pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it an extremely versatile wine. It is perfect as an aperitif, but also goes well with light appetizers, fish or seafood dishes, and can be an excellent choice with Asian cuisine, thanks to its ability to balance rich and spicy flavors.

Representing Delas Freres' commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the terroir of the Rhône Valley, Saint Esprit Blanc is an excellent choice for those looking for a fresh, aromatic and highly drinkable white, capable of offering a taste of elegance and variety of flavors that this wine region has to 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.
