One-third new oak is now the maximum percentage used for any wine here at Delas, and that number really only applies to the big guns, meaning the Côte-Rôtie La Landonne and Hermitage Bessards. Speaking of oak, winemaker Claire Darnaud told me that there's a lot of experimenting going on with matching coopers to individual wines.
