Descrizione

Crozes Hermitage Les Launes Blanc from Delas Freres is a white wine showing a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose it offers an elegant, restrained bouquet with hints of white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus, accompanied by subtle mineral and herbal notes. The olfactory impression is refined without excess, presenting a balanced profile that suggests a fresh and pleasant drinking experience. The aromatic persistence is enjoyable and of good intensity.

On the palate it confirms the olfactory promise: vibrant freshness, balanced acidity and a medium-body structure that carries fruity flavors and a light salinity on the finish. It is a versatile white, suitable with fish dishes, shellfish, light poultry and fresh cheeses; it also works well as an aperitif. Serve at around 8–10 °C. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its liveliness, although a short rest in the cellar can round out its profiles.

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.
