The 2019 Delas Côte-Rôtie La Landonne Magnum (1500ml) is a powerful and cellar-worthy northern Rhône Syrah sourced from the renowned La Landonne vineyard in Côte-Rôtie, France. Produced by Delas Frères from steep schist-rich slopes in the Côte Brune sector, this wine reflects the depth, structure and mineral precision associated with one of the region’s most prestigious sites. The magnum format allows for slower maturation, preserving freshness while enhancing long-term complexity. The nose reveals aromas of blackberry, cassis and black cherry layered with violet, cracked pepper, smoked meat and graphite-like mineral notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with refined tannins and vibrant acidity that provide structure and persistence. Flavours of dark berry fruits, black olive and liquorice unfold alongside savoury spice and subtle smoky nuances from careful oak maturation. The finish is long, dry and mineral-driven with lingering dark fruit and pepper complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding large-format Côte-Rôtie for collectors seeking a structured and age-worthy northern Rhône Syrah with classic vineyard character. The 2019 vintage combines richness with freshness and will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast lamb, venison or slow-cooked beef dishes.
