"A truly delicious start!"

“Beautiful ripe cherries provide a nice balance to 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 plays on 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 in Vaucluse and Gard. Every effort is made with deep respect for the terroirs, driven by a commitment to producing 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 vibrancy and a perfectly balanced profile. The estate is evolving its style toward wines that are increasingly refined and precise. 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—Lirac, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or “simple” Côtes-du-Rhône. A must-try.

Beautiful, ripe cherries balance well with the generous, medium-dry tannins and lively acidity. The alcohol adds a touch of warmth to the clean finish.
