Domaine de la Mordorée - Lirac La Reine des Bois blanc 2024
92/100
Robert Parker
"A flagship cuvée, majestically representing the whites of the South!"
"The Lirac Blanc La Reine des Bois 2024 is more taut than usual, exuding aromas of spring flowers, white lilac, almonds, and honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied, silky, and complex, it is racy and salty, with an enveloping heart of fruit and a long chalky finish. Grown on vineyards planted on rounded pebbles and limestone soils, it is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and Clairette, with a touch of Marsanne and Roussanne." (Wine Advocate 2025)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The estate offers expressive wines from the finest vineyards in Vaucluse and Gard. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the aim of producing wines that live up to their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that characterizes the estate and this winegrowing family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, enlivened by a thirst-quenching tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is moving towards increasingly racy and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 plots and eight communes. 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. Unmissable.
