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 2024 Lirac Blanc La Reine des Bois is tauter than usual, releasing aromas of spring flowers, white lilac, almonds, and honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied, satiny, and complex, it is racy and saline, with an enveloping core of fruit and a long, chalky finish. From vines planted on rolled pebbles and limestone soils, it is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and Clairette, with a touch of Marsanne and Roussanne.” (Wine Advocate 2025)

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The domaine offers expressive wines from the finest crus of the Vaucluse and Gard regions. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the determination to produce wines worthy of their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, carry on with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that is the hallmark of the domaine and this winegrowing family. A superb range of saline, fleshy whites and deep, delicate reds, driven by thirst-quenching tension and balance. The domaine's style is increasingly racy and precise. The fourth star is fast approaching.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 parcels and eight communes. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. A firm believer in low yields, the Delorme family is equally at home with tavel, lirac, châteauneuf-du-pape and "simple" côtes-du-rhône. Not to be missed.
