Robert Parker

Joe Czerwinski

The 2019 Cote Rotie La Landonne features its typical dark, meaty, espresso-like aromas, lifted by hints of raspberry and black cherry. It’s full-bodied and concentrated yet supple and relatively approachable, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish. It’s delicious now, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it shut down for several years before reemerging at maturity, so enjoy it now or hold it for another 5+ years.

Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

This is dark and still a bit reticent, with a cast-iron cloak around the core of dark currant, plum and blackberry paste flavors, showing lots of sweet bay leaf, anise and singed apple wood notes in the background. There's serious grip through the finish. For the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2038. 267 cases made, 40 cases imported.

Decanter

Very oaky, with smoky bacon notes and wood smoke on the nose. Plump, sweetly ripe and juicy. The alcohol seems quite high, and the oak leads to quite a sweet effect on the finish, with tobacco and floral notes. From lieu-dit La Landonne, on schist soils with iron oxide, fermented in stainless steel, aged in new and one-year-old barrels.

Bettane+Desseauve

A nose slightly spicier and more refined than the 2020; the sunny character of the vintage suits the terroir well. The palate is harmonious and consistent, with fresh, velvety tannins and intense length.

Wine Enthusiast

A.C.C.

Fresh aromatic layers of mint sit atop crushed red cherries and wild strawberries, with light clove and thyme on the nose. The palate is rich and enticing with black cherries, plums, rhubarb, pomegranate seeds, black olives and freshly picked rosemary leaves. Tremendous texture, structure, and refreshing acidity carry this wine to a robust finish of orange zest and black tea leaves.

The expression and finesse of a red wine from Vallée du Rhône

The estate

The Delas Frères House, founded in 1835, embodies with panache the rich wine heritage of the Vallée du Rhône. Located in the heart of Tain L'Hermitage, it has built its reputation by highlighting the exceptional terroirs of this region. Over the generations, it has distinguished itself by its ability to create wines that faithfully reflect the richness and diversity of the Rhône soils.

The vineyard

A parcel selection, this Landonne comes from an eponymous parcel planted on the steep slopes of the right bank of the Rhône. Born in 1997, this Côte-Rôtie wine is produced exclusively during great years.

Vinification and aging

The vinification of La Landonne is based on traditional methods, passed down from generation to generation. After a selective manual harvest, the grapes are vinified in open vats, allowing a gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. Fermentation at controlled temperature. Vinification accompanied by daily punching down and pumping over for approximately 10 days. Vatting of about twenty days. Following racking and pressing begins the malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, as well as the aging of 14 to 16 months.

Blend

100% syrah.
