Delas Freres wine salon, Saint-Jean-de-Muzols ★ 4.4
Delas Freres, one of the northern Rhone's oldest houses (founded 1835), produces a Saint-Joseph Methode Traditionnelle sparkling white in addition to its full Syrah and white range. The cellar door in Saint-Jean-de-Muzols offers access to the full portfolio including this unusual northern Rhone sparkling.
The list: Full Delas portfolio; Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph; the cellar door also pours the sparkling Saint-Joseph Methode Traditionnelle in season
Tip: The Delas Saint-Joseph sparkling (Marsanne-Roussanne, methode traditionnelle) is produced in small quantities and rarely found outside the estate. It provides a fascinating comparison with the still Hermitage whites.
