Delor Réserve, Elevé en fûts de chêne

Bordeaux Rouge

A Bordeaux red aged like the finest wines ...

Launched in 1997, Delor Réserve is one of our finest creations to date, inspired by the most prestigious wines crafted from a unique selection and ageing process, with the emphasis still on accessibility:

A selection of the finest terroirs: essentially sourced from parcels on the « Côtes » terroirs.

Aged for several months in new oak barriques: meticulous barrique selection, finetuning toasting in close partnership with coopers to create a Bordeaux wine of great aromatic finesse.

Exceptional ageing facilities in underground monolithic cellars similar to those found in Saint-Emilion: a labyrinth of cellars extending some 32km carved from limestone rock, providing ideal natural conditions in terms of temperature and humidity.

High quality constantly recognised by competitions, press reviews and wine guides.

Tasting notes

Initially welcoming on the attack, the wine is concentrated, yet delicate on the nose, silky and rounded on the palate with soft, well-integrated tannins. All the finesse and elegance of Delor Réserve lingers beneath the fleshy, well-balanced structure.

Grape varieties : Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Cited – Guide Hachette des Vins 2017 “…Kirsch, moka and just a hint of liquorice, the bouquet is attractive and offers a lovely harmony of grapes and oak. The same goes for the palate, where the wine is quite heady and full-bodied, underscored by tight-knit tannins… ”

2013 Vintage: Cited – Guide Hachette des Vins 2016 ” … With its very generous bouquet, this 2013 wine combines fruity notes of blueberries and raspberries with intense oaky character (mocha, toast and vanilla). Pronounced oak flavours are revealed on the concentrated, powerful palate…”
