La Landonne is Côte-Rôtie's iron heart — the steep, ferruginous schist parcel on the Côte Brune that yields the appellation's most structured, savory, age-worthy Syrahs. Delas Frères has been making one since 1997, never more than 2,500 bottles, only in the strongest vintages, from a 0.7-hectare plot on the slope. Under Roederer-era ownership (the Champagne house acquired Delas in 1993 via its earlier purchase of Champagne Deutz, which had owned Delas since 1977), quality has surged here, and the 2015 is a benchmark Northern Rhône vintage — a year of legendary structure and density. 100% Syrah, eighteen months in 40% new French oak, the wine layers charcuterie smoke and garrigue over deep cassis and black plum, with iron-mineral grip and silky tannins beneath. Drinking gorgeously already, built for the long haul.

Antonio Galloni

"Opaque ruby. Heady aromas of candied dark berries, incense, olive and licorice are complemented by suggestions of candied violet and exotic spices. Supple, deeply flavored and lively as well, offering powerful blueberry, spicecake, salty olive and floral pastille flavors and a peppery nuance that builds with air. Finishes smooth, floral and extremely long, with lingering sweetness and subtle, slow-building tannins." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

"With only about 100 cases produced each year, finding a bottle of the 2015 Cote Rotie la Landonne will prove much harder than drinking it. It's indeed a terrific wine but a bit closed and cedary at this particular moment, the 40% new oak standing out on the nose. But this cuvée has a long track record of excellence, so expect it to blossom with time in the cellar. It's concentrated and powerful but amazingly light on its feet, with firm, ample tannins that manage to convey a sense of ripeness as well. Tar, black olive, cassis and espresso elements all speak to the grape (100% Syrah) and the single lieu-dit origin." —Joe Czerwinski

Wine Spectator

"There are two Côte Rôties and the top cuvée is the utterly sensational 2015 Côte Rôtie La Landonne, which should be a candidate for perfection when it’s released. Coming all from the La Landonne lieu-dit and made from 100% Syrah that will see 18 months in 40% new French oak, it offers a huge, layered and ripe style, as well as notes of blueberries, blackberries, crushed violets, graphite and minerality. It has sweet tannin, but there are plenty of them, so it’s not for those looking for instant gratification."

"Smoky tones of charcuterie and dried garrigue meld into ripe, luscious black plum and cassis here. A rich, densely concentrated Syrah, it's keenly balanced by crisp acidity and firm mineral tones. The finish is endless and unctuous, cushioned by sweet spice and silky, supple tannins. Gorgeous already it will only improve through 2027 and hold further." —Anna Lee C. Iijima
