The company was founded in 1835 by Charles Audibert and Philippe Delas. In 1924, Philippe's heirs took full ownership and continued to develop the business, expanding it by purchasing a vineyard in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and enlarging the Hermitage vineyards. In 1960, Michel Delas (third generation) took over and cemented the reputation of a large wine trading company (négociant) in North Rhône. In 1977, Delas Frères and Champagne Deutz joined forces in a joint project in Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, near Tournon sur-Rhône, by the Saint-Joseph vineyards. The alliance proved to be more than successful, and in 1993 Deutz and Delas Frères joined the Roederer Group, where Delas' philosophy continues to evolve and flourish today.
