From the Sun-Drenched Coast to the Rugged Valley: A Southern French JourneyExperience the pinnacle of Southern French winemaking in one extraordinary evening. This tasting pairs two iconic houses from the portfolios of the famed Champagne Louis Roederer group: Domaines Ott and Delas Frères.

We begin our journey on the Mediterranean coast with Domaines Ott, widely revered as the absolute royalty of Provence rosé. Founded in 1896, Ott transformed the global perception of rosé by crafting complex, pale-hued, and highly structured wines born from crystalline limestone and sea-breeze terroirs.From the coast, we travel north up the river to Delas Frères, an elite house founded in 1835 in Tain-l’Hermitage. Renowned for their masterful, deeply concentrated expressions of Syrah and Grenache, Delas captures the powerful, aromatic essence of the Rhône Valley—delivering wines packed with dark berries, violets, and wild herbs. Together, these historic estates offer the ultimate portrait of French sun, soil, and soul.

Friday, July 17th, 3-5:30 pm. $5 fee. Wine Club Members receive one free tasting per membership at every event.
