Saint-Esprit 2024 Delas: Syrah, Grenache and the spirit of the Rhône

The Côtes du Rhône Rouge Saint-Esprit 2024 is an excellent introduction to the world of Delas wines. This cuvée from the Signature collection is the result of meticulous selection and blending of grapes from the appellation’s southern terroirs. Delas describes Saint-Esprit as a cuvée designed to offer a rich, full-bodied and balanced style, featuring Syrah and Grenache, with other grape varieties potentially included in the blend depending on the vintage. For the 2024 vintage, the stated composition is 70 per cent Syrah and 30 per cent Grenache.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep, expressive colour. Its aromatic profile combines black and red fruits with hints of violet, garrigue, pepper and black olives. On the palate, the focus is on richness and balance: the texture is supple, the tannins remain fine, and the freshness lends a lively quality to the whole. The ageing process is designed to preserve the fruit’s expression and the blend’s distinctive character.

At the table, this 2024 Côtes du Rhône red proves particularly versatile. It pairs naturally with a veal chop, roast lamb, duck breast with herbs or grilled vegetables. Its generous character also makes it an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, slow-cooked meats and home-cooked meals.

Served at 16–18 °C, the Saint-Esprit 2024 offers an immediate and enjoyable drinking experience, whilst also having the potential to develop favourably over the next few years. A particularly interesting 75 cl bottle of Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2024 for discovering the rich and balanced style of Maison Delas.
