Description

The Delas Frères Domaine Des Grands Chemins Crozes-Hermitage Magnum 1.5L 2010 is a fine wine that is made from 100% Syrah grapes. This wine comes from the largest of the Northern Rhône appellations, covering the territory of 11 communes in the Drôme "département". The grapes are exclusively sourced from the Domaine des Grands Chemins, which is owned by Delas Frères, and grown on benches known as the "Chassis" formed at the junction between the rivers Isère and Rhône.

What sets this wine apart is the magnum bottle size, which holds 1.5L of wine. This is twice the size of a standard bottle, and it is said that wines stored in magnums age more gracefully and have a better taste than those stored in standard bottles. The reason for this is that the larger bottle size reduces the amount of oxygen exposure, which can cause the wine to spoil or change in taste. Additionally, magnums have an impressive appearance and make a statement, perfect for special occasions or as a gift.

The initial production of this wine was 38,000 bottles in 2006 and 32,000 bottles in 2007. However, with a greater understanding of the site, Delas Frères aims to increase production to 48,000 bottles. Overall, the Delas Frères Domaine Des Grands Chemins Crozes-Hermitage Magnum 1.5L 2010 is a top-notch wine that is sure to impress both in taste and appearance.
