Long-established and quite large, Delas Frères has been on a roll for a good decade or more, and the quality has improved since they moved to their new, state-of-the-art winery in the heart of Tain l’Hermitage just before the 2019 harvest. I consider the 2019s and 2020s to be the strongest sets of wines here. Especially the 2020s, which are impressively fresh and balanced across the board, with the energy to reward patience. The Hermitage bottlings are the winery's pride, and in recent vintages, they can be counted among the appellation's top wines.

Comparing 2019 to 2018, winemakers Claire Darnaud and Jacques Grange told me that “the 2019s have more power than the 2018s but also, often, even more lively character, and the tannins are extremely well-integrated.” The 2018s “will probably always look good,” Darnaud said, “while the 2019s have the material to age for a long time,” which reminds me of 2017 at its best.
