The landmark cuvée of a Tavel institution. More info
At Domaine de la Mordorée, rosé isn’t made by obligation but by passion. The vines are planted on Vallongue, a terrace made up of pebbles, sand and clay. The harvest is manual and fully destemmed. Then, a cold maceration takes place to give the wine all its colour whilst avoiding tannins. This splendid cuvée comes from old Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault vines that confer a powerful undertone. To this, Clairette and Bourboulenc are added – local, white grape varieties – that bring deliciously floral notes. It has a lovely, pink colour, traditional of the appellation. The palate is elegant, fruity, and quite moreish.

Domaine de La Mordorée (a nod to the bronze colour of the woodcock, the property's emblem) was created in 1986 when Christophe Delorme gave up his original trade to focus purely on winegrowing and wine. From the outset, this enthusiast insisted on a high standard of work both in the vineyards and at the winery. He very quickly earned his reputation as one of the top winegrowers among the new generation in the southern Rhône, his somewhat “modern” style leaning towards power and concentration. The range is extensive and includes red and white wines in the Tavel, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac and Condrieu appellations. The vineyards cover 55 hectares, divided into 38 different plots scattered across eight communes. Today, the domain has abandoned the use of chemical herbicides and received organic certification for all wines, except Condrieu, in 2013. In addition to the usual organic practices, it is very proud to have re-established an entire ecosystem among the vines. In the late 90s Christophe was joined by his brother Francis. After a sudden loss, it fell to his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre to take up the reins, bringing a wind of change to the domain.
