Rhône Blend from Tavel
$50
This is proper Rosé. Proper Rosé colour, and, real falvour. A hint of musk, fruits more down the cherry line than berry line. A fuller feel in the mouth compared with Mordorée’s Côtes du Rhône Rosé. Closing in on light red level. Actually tightens up a little with some air, building more tension, whilst the fruit opens and lengthens. Incredibly refreshing. Best drunk not too cold, around 10ºC.
A note on Rosé: Over the years we got to dry Rosé a big tick. Provence Rosé took off and an ocean of fairly insipid light blush gear in fancy bottles hit the market.

“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.

“Light brilliant orange. [not sure were she gets that from] Powerful red berry, orange pith and floral aromas are complicated by building herb and mineral nuances. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering intense cherry, red currant and blood orange flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. Smoothly blends power and delicacy and finishes very long and chewy, with resonating florality and a touch of spiciness.”
