2022 Côte-Rôtie, La Landonne, Delas Frères, Rhône

Description

Founded in 1835, Delas Frères is one of the Rhône Valley’s most historic and respected producers. Under the stewardship of winemaker Jacques Grange, Delas combines traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art winemaking at its modern winery in Tain-l’Hermitage, ensuring each cuvée faithfully expresses its terroir.

The 2022 vintage of Delas Frères Côte-Rôtie La Landonne is a magnificent expression of Syrah and terroir. Sourced from the steep, schist-laden slopes of the famed La Landonne vineyard, this wine epitomises the essence of Côte-Rôtie—where intensity, elegance, and minerality intertwine in perfect harmony.

The growing season 2022 delivered optimal ripeness and balance, producing small, concentrated berries that yielded exceptional depth and purity. This is a wine built for the ages—commanding in its youth but destined to evolve gracefully over decades. A true benchmark for Northern Rhône Syrah, the 2022 La Landonne captures the precision, strength, and timeless allure of Delas Frères at its finest.

La Landonne is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding vineyards in the Rhône Valley and can compete with many of the Grand Cru of Burgundy, and at just a fraction of the price.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 97/100
The 2022 Côte Rôtie La Landonne is a much more singular wine and just screams La Landonne with its smoky, meaty profile. Darker black fruits, graphite, crushed stone, leather, and woodsmoke all emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's very much in the style of the vintage and will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and cruise for two decades.

Stuart Pigott 97/100
A very elegant expression of the Cote Brune section of this appellation, with stunning concentration, masses of super-silky tannins and fantastic tension. That drives the extremely long finish, which is as pointed and bright as a flashing fencing sword. Yes, this is a full-bodied wine, but you hardly think about the body. A pure syrah that was matured 100% in Burgundian oak casks for 15 months. Drink from release.

Nicolas Greinacher 95/100

The 2022 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne bursts with black cherry, rose petal, crushed rock and black pepper notes, further laced with hints of licorice and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied, the 2022 balances power with flawless elegance. Ripe tannins frame its complex palate, leading to a long, expansive finish. This is a compelling La Landonne of pedigree and class.

Yohan Castaing 94/100
Notes of licorice, cedar and smoke preface the 2022 Cote Rotie La Landonne, a slightly austere, introverted Côte-Rôtie that is medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a linear texture framed by a fresh, fleshy mid-palate and bright acids. It concludes with a firm, oaky, spicy finish. The underlying character of the soil is present but restrained, leaning toward a gently woody style that somewhat mutes its natural expression. Crafted by Jacques Grange and his team, this wine has the potential to age gracefully. It would benefit from additional time in the cellar to fully express itself.

Cask sample. Tasted blind. Quite shy aromatically, some dark fruits and cedar wood. The palate shows good acidity, ripe fruits and a creamy mid palate, the oak is forward and present yet will integrate nicely with time. There is nice energy here beneath a generous core of fruit.
