Domaine de la Mordorée - Côtes-du-Rhône rouge 2020
90/100
James Suckling
"What a delicious start!"
“Beautiful ripe cherries balance well with the generous, moderately dry tannins and lively acidity. The alcohol adds a touch of warmth to the clean finish. ” (James Suckling 2022) This Côtes-du-Rhône kicks off the Domaine de la Mordorée lineup. A very fruity red, offering aromas of violet and blackcurrant on the nose with great elegance, and a palate that showcases finesse, with fine, well-integrated tannins and good length.

Rated estate (2024 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The estate produces highly expressive wines from the finest vineyards of Vaucluse and Gard. Every effort is made with deep respect for the terroirs, driven by a commitment to crafting wines that live up to their full potential. Madeleine Delorme, alongside her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination, upholding the spirit of excellence that defines both the estate and this winemaking family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, animated by a refreshing tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is evolving its style toward increasingly refined and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread across 38 plots and eight municipalities. Following Christophe’s untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. Advocates of low yields, the Delormes produce vintages with disconcerting ease, whether in Tavel, their original stronghold, in Lirac, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or in “simple” Côtes-du-Rhône. A must-try.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 5, 2022
A CDR with a wild, powerful fruitiness that reveals great aromatic complexity resulting from a blend of five young grape varieties. On the palate, it is fresh, though slightly tannic. The finish is subtly spicy with a hint of pepper. Rating: 3.6. Ideally, you should wait until at least 2023 before opening this bottle. In any case, it was tasted intentionally early, paired with marinated sea spider crabs, spiced with a dash of Espelette pepper.
