The 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes Blanc (100% Marsanne) exhibits plenty of nectarine, honeysuckle, quince and floral characteristics in its fruit-driven, medium-bodied, delicious style. Enjoy it over the next several years. Under the inspired leadership of winemaker/administrator Jacques Grange, who has carte blanche authority from the proprietors, the Louis Roederer/Deutz Champagne firm, Delas has been on a fabulous qualitative roll for over a decade. They have enjoyed some great successes, so it is hard to say 2009 may be the magnum opus of Jacques Grange, but it certainly looks fabulous.Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel.
