(2012 Vintage Notes)

This superb red wine showcases the best of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, blended in equal parts. It represents the finest of Domaine de la Mordorée, with a deep, dark color and intensely fruity aromas of prunes and blackberries, complemented by an elegant toasty note and supported by smooth, concentrated tannins. A truly exceptional bottle!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (guide 2015) 15,5/20 (vintage 2012) (Very good wine)

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.

Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2015 guide) 2** stars (2012 vintage) (Outstanding wine)

Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by 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.

A classic wine with plenty of character that opens up slowly. It’s highly concentrated, with spicy notes and a lovely finish.
