Description
With four gold medals to its name including the prestigious Decanter Medal (95 points) Best Value, Chevalier Delaude is of exceptional quality and is authentic Languedoc.Winemaker Thomas Delaude is a master of his craft with several creations to his name, including other ranges such as Souleil, Pech des Cades, and Joseph de Loy in Burgundy. Thomas carefully selected the Domaine Saint Eutrope, a distinctive estate, nestled between the vineyards of Corbières and Minervois for its unique terroir and distinctive character.The nose offers intensity, elegance as well as certain power. Notes of wild strawberry and small wild berries. The palate is fruity and offers a small freshness and racy minerality. Tannins are precise and well built.Wine Merchant Magazine, February 2025: “This stunningly good value GSM blend is sourced from an estate between Corbieres and Minervois. There’s a lot going on: its earthy base supports rich black coffee notes, cloves and cinnomon, leather and smoke, and it’s all held together by a fragrant, floral freshness. Powerful but food-friendly.” Decanter World Wine Awards, 2024: Gold Medal, Best Value. Tom Surgey, January 2025: “Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre; bold, moreish, delicious. I ‘blind’ tasted it to guess the grapes and blend – and nailed it – testament to it really tasting like it’s varieties. Quintessential Southern French stuff.”
