Hermitage Les Bessards 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Delas Frères Hermitage Les Bessards 2018 is a deeply concentrated, polished Syrah packed with dark berry and plum fruit, layered with notes of smoked meat, licorice, and savory herbs over a pulsating granitic minerality. The palate is full-bodied and velvety yet firmly structured, with powerful, fine tannins and remarkable freshness driving a long, resonant finish that promises superb complexity with time in bottle.

About Hermitage Les Bessards

Delas Frères’ Hermitage “Les Bessards” is a single‑vineyard, small‑production expression (only in top years) from the steep, granitic south‑facing slopes of Hermitage, made from 100% Syrah; it’s classically dense and concentrated with deep black‑fruit and violet perfume, savory/olive and smoked‑meat/earth nuances, firm, ageworthy tannins and 12–14 months in new or lightly used oak that underline its power and long‑distance potential.
