Crozes Hermitage Les Launes Rouge by Delas Freres is a red wine from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation offered in an expressive yet measured style. In the glass it shows a lively ruby color with purple highlights. The aromatic profile opens with notes of red and black fruit, accompanied by delicate spice and light floral hints; the olfactory picture remains balanced and direct. On the palate it is linearly structured, with tannins that are present but not intrusive and good acidity that supports the sip, leaving a pleasant, restrained finish.

It suits a range of pairings: grilled red meats, braises, dishes with intense sauces and medium-aged cheeses find a good match. It is appropriate for an informal but well-considered table, ideal for both everyday meals and convivial occasions. Serving temperature recommended around 16–18 °C and, if desired, a short aeration before serving to enhance the aromas.
The winery

Delas Frères – Winery in Vallée du Rhône (Rodano settentrionale)

Discover the story and wines of Delas Frères.

A Northern Rhône maison that combines wines from its estate vineyards with wines sourced from partner growers; known for its Syrah-based cuvées and its parcel-based approach to the appellations of the Upper Rhône.
Region: Vallée du Rhône (Rodano settentrionale)
Country: Francia
Founded: 1835
Grapes: Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Merlot
Estate-owned vineyards concentrated in the Upper Rhône. Parcel-based approach with single-vineyard labels such as Les Bessards, Le Clos and Clos Boucher. Specializing in Syrah for Northern Rhône reds; Viognier for Condrieu; and white blends based on Marsanne and Roussanne. Historic house with roots dating back to 1835 and a quality revival beginning in the 1990s. Winemaking and aging aimed at preserving terroir expression.
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.
