James Suckling
"This red wine is delicious, with a frank nose of red berries that evolves into blackcurrant when aerated. It has a frank attack, roundness in the middle of the palate, prominent aromas of blackcurrant and coffee, fine tannins, and a peppery finish: a composition without a false note." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) This Côtes-du-Rhône opens the "Dame Rousse" range from Domaine de la Mordorée: a most delicious introduction!

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The estate offers expressive wines from the finest vineyards in Vaucluse and Gard. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the aim of producing wines that live up to their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that characterizes the estate and this winegrowing family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, enlivened by a thirst-quenching tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is moving towards increasingly racy and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.

About wine:
This red wine is delicious, with a frank nose of red berries that develops into blackcurrant when aerated. A frank attack, roundness in the mid-palate, prominent aromas of blackcurrant and coffee, fine tannins, and a peppery finish: a flawless composition.
About the estate:
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 plots and eight communes. 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. Unmissable.

Very appealing strawberry and watermelon aromas here, with fresh, juicy, and appealing flavors as well. Slightly creamy finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now.
