60% Grenache 15% Syrah 15% Cinsault 10% Clairette from limestone, sand and galets. Ripe and full bodied, but with juicy raspberry, redcurrant & a touch of spice. Great flow and energy, bright floral finish flows with red grapefruit and tangerine, with just a hint of tannin, a really fab summer rose that is ideal as an aperitiff own but equally would stand up to food.

Tasted at L&S Rhône Tasting - 20/09/2022
Blood orange and redcurrant aromas, which are presently quite discreet. Full-bodied, certainly dry and savoury with a good sense of amplitude on the palate. Good acidity, well balanced, with real length and flavour. Also contains 10% Clairette. This is a biodynamic producer, Demeter certified and run by Ambre Delorme. Drinking range: 2022 - 2024 Rating: 92 Matt Walls, Decanter.com (Sept 2022)
Attractively juicy and easy to enjoy, thanks to the generous red-berry, nectarine and citrus-peel character on the nicely balanced, medium-bodied palate. Crisp finish with a touch of tannin giving it drive. A blend dominated by grenache and syrah. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now.

Domaine de la Mordorée
Started in 1986 by the Delorme family, Domaine de la Mordorée has become one of the top estates in the Rhône, with arguably the most consistent quality. The word 'Mordorée', literally 'bronze' or 'golden-brown' is one of the many poetic names for a woodcock, the symbol of the domaine. Other such names include the cuvée names - 'La Belle Voyageuse' (the beautiful traveller), and 'La Dame Rousse' (the russet lady). Founding winemaker Christophe Delorme's objective was to be unintrusive and maintain total respect for his terroir and the fruit it produces, striving to achieve a perfect balance between concentration, terroir and balance.
The domaine consists of 55 Hectares, on 38 different parcels, providing a rich, wide range of soils and micro-climates. The whole domaine has been certified organic since 2007.
Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.
