This 2019 "Ligne de Crête" cuvée from Maison Delas is a great red wine from the northern Rhone Valley in the Hermitage appellation, from a small plot of just over 2 hectares of Syrah vines on the highest part of the Hermitage hill, the place called "Les Grandes Vignes", at an altitude of about 325 metres. This cuvée is only made in the best years and at less than 2000 bottles per year.

This great red wine from Hermitage offers powerful aromas of blackberry and redcurrant and floral aromas on the nose, complemented by more discreet notes of liquorice, spices and leather. On the palate, the substance is elegant and complex, at once dense, rich and delicate, with notes of blueberry, raspberry, violet and bitter chocolate. The ripe and melted tannins and the mineral expression, brought to it by the granite rock of the Hermitage massif, give the whole a powerful and balanced structure.

It will go perfectly with a squab puff pastry, a beef tartare in ravioli, a roasted duckling fillet with cranberries, game, woodcock or hare à la Royale, or a rack of lamb grilled with herbs. It asks to be opened about 2 hours before the tasting.
