Excellent village from Marius Delarche. Fruity mores still there. Secondaire notes upcoming. Perfect timing for me — a year ago
Smooth, full bodied but elegant, mix of red and black fruit, baking spices, a little cola aroma, tannins fine and playing a background role. — 2 years ago
Spice, strawbwrries, black pepper and fun — 2 years ago
The aroma from this wine fills the room! However, as delicious and complex as the flavors are, in total it feels subtle and subdued; a couple years past prime. A beautiful acidity remains present from front to back, and makes the wine exceptionally food friendly — 9 months ago
History of Chapoutier family dates back to the early 19th century when current owner Michel Chapoutier’s great-, great-, great-grandfather Marius purchased estate & famous l’Hermitage vineyards. Medium Ruby with aromas of rich red/black fruits and spice, 16 months in 25% new French oak. On the palate raspberry, cherry & black currant flavors with notes of oak. Soft dusty tannins, well balanced ending with fruit, spice and cedar. Very nice! I wouldn’t age long, great now! — 2 years ago

Infanticide but still a nice cotton Charlemagne. Delarche is one of the true affordable grand crus, never outstanding, never a disappointment. 2021 will be very good — 2 months ago
