The 2019 Côte Rôtie La Landonne displays its typical dark, meaty, espresso-like aromas, complemented by hints of raspberry and black cherry. It is full-bodied and concentrated yet supple and relatively approachable, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. While it is delicious now, it would not be surprising if the wine closes up for several years before reaching its peak maturity. Therefore, it is advisable to enjoy it now or hold onto it for another 5+ years.
The dark-hued 2018 Cote Rotie La Landonne remains one of the stars of the Delas stable. Hints of thyme and sage appear on the nose alongside deep mocha shadings, raspberries and blueberries. Concentrated and tannic, this medium to full-bodied wine demands at least short-term cellaring, but all indications are that aging will be amply rewarded. There's a rich, velvety mouthfeel, plenty of gorgeous fruit and a tannic—but ripe—finish that lingers for what must be over a minute.

Delas Frères is an estate based in the northern Rhône Valley, particularly known for its Syrah-based wines from the Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie and Crozes-Hermitages appellations.

The Delas family have been involved in the production of wine in the Rhône Valley since 1835, taking the current name in 1924. The wines have been received well throughout the 20th century, and in 1977, joined forces with Champagne Deutz. In 1993, both were acquired by the Rouzaud family, owners of Louis Roederer.

Today, the company has vineyards around the northern Rhône, the most notable being Domaine des Tourettes in Hermitage. This estate covers a steep, granitic part of the Hermitage hill, including the famous Les Bressades vineyard.

Wine has been produced in the Rhône Valley for over 500 years, with some of its vineyards being amongst the oldest in France. Syrah rules over the south with a mix of Mediterranean grapes, while in the north, the two stars are Hermitage – grown on an imposing granite hillside above the town of Tain and best put away in the back of the cellar for a decade – and Côte-Rôtie, a star appellation made famous by Guigal's single-vineyard wines, yet also home to dozens of fine producers as yet less well known. The sheer hillsides overlooking the river have to be terraced to make production possible.

St Joseph and Cornas also provide wines of weight and worth, but the best source for good value is Crozes-Hermitage, a satellite appellation which has come alive in the last few years with the arrival of young blood.

The river valley widens out south of Valence into Côtes du Rhône country on the windy alluvial plains and the lower slopes of the hills. It is a most imposing sight during the cold, clear, blue skies of Mistral conditions. The best of the wine villages of the Côtes du Rhône have been promoted to their own appellations - Vinsobres, Vacqueyras - close in quality to the better known Gigondas.

The king of the southern Rhône is Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Here the galets roulés, rounded rocks from the ancient river bed, provide the context for gloriously rich red wines that are redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, and enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several grape varieties. Thirteen are permitted in all, but Grenache usually dominates, along with Syrah and Mourvèdre in support. A fine vintage needs eight to 10 years cellaring for best results.

If your taste runs to fuller, richer, relatively exotic white wines, then perhaps a white Hermitage or Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the Rhône Valley would suit better, or else a marvellously perfumed, heady Condrieu - headquarters of the Viognier grape.

Cote Rotie is a wine region located in the northern Rhone Valley of France. The name Cote Rotie translates to "roasted slope," which refers to the steep, south-facing hillsides where the vineyards are located. The region is known for producing some of the finest and most elegant red wines in the world.

The history of winemaking in Cote Rotie dates back to the Roman era, but it wasn't until the 16th century that the region began to gain recognition for its wines. In the 19th century, Cote Rotie became one of the most sought-after wines in Europe, and it was even served at the coronation of Queen Victoria.

The style of production in Cote Rotie is unique and labor-intensive. The vineyards are planted on steep slopes that require hand-harvesting, and the grapes are often fermented with the stems still attached. This technique, known as whole-cluster fermentation, adds complexity and structure to the wine.

Cote Rotie is made primarily from the Syrah grape, which is known for its dark fruit flavors and spicy notes. The wines are often blended with a small amount of Viognier, a white grape that adds floral aromas and a silky texture to the wine.

The wines of Cote Rotie are classified into two main styles: the traditional style and the modern style. The traditional style is characterized by its earthy, gamey flavors and firm tannins, while the modern style is fruitier and more approachable in its youth.

Some of the top producers in Cote Rotie include Guigal, Chapoutier, and Jaboulet. These producers are known for their commitment to quality and their ability to produce wines that are both powerful and elegant.

Overall, Cote Rotie is a region that produces some of the most sought-after wines in the world. Its unique terroir, labor-intensive production methods, and commitment to quality have made it a favorite among wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.
