F*@#ing excellent! Vibrant fresh, energetic, wonderful wine. Poised and balanced. Excellent tannins, dusty and of quality, layered. Lovely drive of fruit. Got this tricky dark, brooding undertone with energetic layer on top. Excellent complexity.
There’s a seamless harmony about this wine that takes me to a happy place! True to form for Mordorée restraint is paired with great length and persistence.

“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.

“Sweet and opulent, this is really rather yummy with abundant notes of blueberry, thyme, blackcurrant, spice and olives. Very dense, textured, saline and toothsome; powerful but very drinkable. Great development potential. 34% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 33% Mourvedre.”
