Perfume and intrigue. Love the nose here. The integration of the 3 varieties is wonderful. Grenache though is the hero. So much secondary character with earthy, woody, spiced notes, the violets pop. Tiny hint of reduction blows of very quickly. Woody herbs. Excellent core of fruit. Classy wine that with a couple more years in bottle if you can hold out that long will deliver in spades. Alcohol an edge proud.

“Domaine de la Mordoree continues to fashion some of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most exciting wines as well as Lirac, rosés from Tavel, and sensational Côtes du Rhône’s.”
Robert Parker Jnr.
Domaine de la Mordorée was founded 34 years ago by the recently deceased Christophe Delorme whose work is continued by his wife (Madeleine) daughter (Ambre) longtime cellarmaster Rémy Chauvet in concert with two Châteauneuf enologists. These are modern styled Rhône’s farmed bio-dynamically that combine the subtle use of French oak for its top wines. The un-oaked ‘La Dame Rousse’ range deliver some of the greatest QPR wines anywhere in the vinous world. Witness the fine quality of these wines, even in difficult vintages, to grasp their inherent quality. The Lirac and Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois’ wines are compelling – rich, classy and concentrated. Mordorée is a genuine superstar of modern-day viticultural France.
Domaine de la Mordorée is based in Tavel, close to where the Rhône Valley meets the Languedoc. The hold plantings across Tavel, Lirac, Châteauneuf-du-Papes in the southern Rhône, and, Condrieu in the northern Rhône.

“A glorious flagship wine from a stellar name in the Southern Rhône. This organic red made from Grenache, Counoise, Carignan, Cinsault and Syrah delivers a palate bursting with delicate strawberry, raspberry and red cherry flavours. It’s complex but delicately nuanced with soft tannins and edges of juicy watermelon with a gentle creamy finish that lingers on the tongue. Just delicious, and great with roast lamb.”
