A refined, high-class and well-composed blend of grenache, mourvedre, vaccarese and syrah. The nose expresses notes of wild berries, currants, dried herbs, black pepper and a hint of bark. It’s full-bodied with fine yet firm tannins. Well-build and focused, with a more delicate texture at the center. Bright and succulent, yet there is so much tension, structure and intensity. Vibrant peppery finish with length. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Try after 2026. Rating: 96 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Jun 2024)

The concentrated 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois has the potential to outperform the delicious 2020. Forward and inviting, it bursts with ripe red and black fruits, licorice, spice box and leafy characteristics. Framed by ripe and polished tannins, the 2022 is tightly structured and offers excellent aging potential. I look forward to tasting the finished wine next year. Tasted twice with consistent notes. Drinking range: 2028 - 2039 Rating: 92-94 Nicholas Greinacher - Vinousmedia.com (Jun 2024)

80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah and 5% Vaccarèse. Vinified and aged for 10 months in old oak barrels (20%) and stainless-steel tanks (80%). Certified organic and biodynamic. Tank sample. Tasted blind. Intense nose of violet and sweet blue fruits. Opulent and fleshy palate with real ripeness, sweetness and concentration. The tannins are firm and textured, and this will need some time to knit together; yet there is plenty to enjoy here! Full, opulent and sleek wine.

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'.
