Delas Freres

Since 1835, Delas Frères has defined excellence across the Northern Rhône's most prestigious appellations, commanding 30 hectares of prime vineyard holdings including 10 coveted hectares on the legendary Hermitage hill. This storied domaine transforms granite-soiled terroir into some of France's most collectible wines, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern precision under the visionary leadership of Jacques Grange.

Founded nearly two centuries ago, Delas Frères built its reputation through unwavering dedication to terroir expression and meticulous vineyard management. Jacques Grange's winemaking philosophy centers on capturing the unique character of each appellation, from the steep granite slopes of Les Bessards in Hermitage to the schist-laden vineyards of Côte-Rôtie. This approach has established the domaine as a benchmark producer, where every bottle reflects the distinctive personality of its origin. The estate's commitment to quality over quantity ensures each vintage maintains the exceptional standards that have defined Delas Frères for generations.

The domaine's portfolio spans the Northern Rhône's greatest appellations: Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Cornas, Côte-Rôtie, and Condrieu. Their flagship Hermitage wines, particularly from the revered Les Bessards vineyard, represent the pinnacle of Syrah expression, while their Condrieu showcases Viognier's aromatic complexity. Each wine undergoes careful aging in French oak, allowing the terroir's character to shine through layers of concentrated fruit and mineral precision. These investment-grade wines consistently earn critical acclaim and command premium positioning among collectors worldwide, with limited production ensuring exclusivity.
