Delas : Domaine des Grands Chemins 2021

Stylish and pure, with a delicious display of fresh blue and red fruit. Glistening and pure, with a vanilla streak and generous black pepper and iron for a vivid, light-footed close. Fruit-driven, poised and well-built. Drink now through 2028. 3,500 cases made, 200 cases imported.

Intensely floral nose with delicate smoky and blood orange aromas. On the palate this is far from being the most powerful Crozes, but it has a striking elegance. Excellent balance of well-crafted fine tannins, bright fruit and some smoky character. The finish is long and almost silky. Matured 50% in oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks. Drink or hold.
