The Delas Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes is a wine that truly embodies the essence of the northern Rhône appellations. The vineyards, which are the largest in the region, cover 11 communes in the Drôme “département”, on the left bank of the river Rhône. This wine is made primarily from Syrah grapes, with an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne allowed.
What sets this wine apart is its deep garnet red color and fruity nose, with strong aromas of cassis and plums, and a touch of violets. It is an ample, well-rounded wine that has sufficient tannins for ageing capacity.
The Delas family has been producing wine since 1835, and their heritage and expertise are evident in every bottle. They are committed to sustainable winemaking practices, ensuring that their vineyards are cared for in a way that preserves the environment for future generations.
This wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, such as beef or lamb, as well as hearty stews and casseroles. Its bold flavor profile also makes it a great choice for cheese boards and charcuterie platters.
