Description
The colour is an intense garnet red. In its youth, this wine has strong blackcurrant aromas. With time, the fruit aromas gradually fade, giving the way to hints of pepper and liquorice. The palate is structured and has the strongly-defined flavours that are typical from this "terroir".
Food pairing:  Mixed grills, wild mushrooms, game (which can be served with spicy sauces). This wine needs at least 3 years cellaring before it can open up its complexity. If kept for longer than this, the wine should be decanted before serving.
Vineyards :  the vineyard lies entirely on the commune of Cornas located on the right Rhône river bank.
Soils :  the soils are varied, with odd alluvium deposits on steep, shale slopes that are held up by dry stone walls.
Climate :  very sunny south/southeast facing slopes.
History :  the Cornas wines have been invariably famous since the 10th century. They were served to kings, both in France and elsewhere. AOC status and improved quality have enabled the vineyard to regain its reputation.
Surface area under production :  96 hectares, for an average annual production of 3,210 hectolitres (35,666 cases). Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectolitres/hectare.

THE PRODUCER

Delas

A Renaissance

La Maison Delas Frères

The celebrated Delas Frères wine company was founded back in 1835. Since 1996, the spirit and soul that contributed to its reputation for high quality wines have been restored.

The company's new owners have made important investments in the Saint-Jean-de-Muzols production site near Tournon-sur-Rhône.

Its highly-motivated team is proud to play its part in the revival of the quality of this venerable Rhône Valley wine company. A specially designed vat-house for the vinification of red wines, as well as a full restructuring of the ageing cellars, are among the new quality measures at Delas, all aimed at perpetuating and enhancing the expression of the Terroir.
