CÔTES DE PROVENCE RED 1610 CHATEAU GRAND BOISE 2019 75CL
Grapes: 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache, and 10% Cabernet-Sauvignon
On a naturally favorable site, 77 plots of vines are scattered within a vast area of 500 hectares on the mountainside.
They form here and there small terraces facing the Sainte-Victoire mountain. The vine has been cultivated there for several centuries.
Patiently, in harmony with nature and the woods that surround him, man walks the paths to cultivate the vine where it gives him the best grapes.
The terroir is that of the new Sainte Victoire appellation, an ecosystem naturally favorable to vines since Roman times. Château Grand Boise is the highest estate there, with vines between 300 and 640 meters.
The combination of altitude with good sunshine makes it possible to obtain wines of great freshness and great balance. No chemical fertilizers or weedkillers are used. The known origins of
La Grand'Boise as a domain dates back to 1610, the date of the oldest property deed found. It was in 1879 that the three estates (Grand'Boise, Cabassude and Les Brunets) united to form one. Traditionally family owned, the estate only changed hands three times in its entire history. Under the impetus of its new owner, a passionate doctor, the estate has very recently been thoroughly renovated. It has equipped itself with efficient and qualitative technical means. The olive-growing activity is revived with 800 olive trees on 3 hectares.

CROZES HERMITAGE BLACK ETOILE DOMAIN MELODY 2020
Now unavoidable, the vintage Etoile Noire comes from vines older than 50 years and raised for a year. The Black Star 2018 is a balanced and powerful wine at the same time, offering beautiful aromas of ripe fruit and black cherry. A great success.
The vineyard is planted on 3 very different types of soil:
The objective of the domain is toexpress the authenticity of the terroirs, this involves different approaches: - A reasoned fight for phytosanitary treatments: contact products such as Sulfur and Copper are preferred
- The use of organic fertilizers - The absence of weed killers and soil cultivation throughout the vineyard for balanced vines - Naturally controlled yields
- Manual harvesting with a first sorting at the plot
Since 1996, the venerable Maison Delas Frères, whose roots go back to 1835, has regained the soul and sparkle that have contributed to its fame.
Under the impetus of the new management, numerous investments were made on the Saint-Jean-de-Muzols production site, near Tournon-sur-Rhône.
A motivated team proudly participates in the qualitative renewal of this Grande Maison in the Rhône Valley: a vat room specially designed for the vinification of red wines, the complete restructuring of the aging cellar are among the key elements of the House's quality approach. Delas, summed up in one sentence: to perpetuate and sublimate the expression of the Terroir.
On this AOC, located at the northern end of the Rhône Valley, the very famous cuvée "La Landonne" from Delas Frères (100% Syrah) is a plot selection whose production hardly exceeds 2.500 bottles per vintage, exclusively in the great years.|
