Information
About the producer

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.

About the wine

The domain produces a unique rosé, showcasing the quality of the wines of its appellation. This Rosé de Tavel is blessed with a terroir made up of rolled pebbles, calcareous and sandstone. It is here that Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Clairette and Bourboulenc grow. Harvested by hand, they are completely destemmed before cold maceration for 36 to 48 hours. This is a rosé which we often do not see nowadays: its intense colour has bluish tints. The extremely fruity (strawberry, cherry, gooseberry, pink grapefruit, mandarin) and floral nose herald an indulgent, round and fresh wine. A true gastro wine, it can be kept for between five and seven years, and like white wine, can be enjoyed at 12°C paired with white meat or with oriental and Asian dishes. A very fine discovery.
