"This red wine is delicious, with a frank nose of red berries that evolves into blackcurrant with aeration. Straightforward attack, round mid-palate, aromas of blackcurrant and coffee, fine tannins, peppery finish: a composition without false notes". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) This Côtes-du-Rhône opens Domaine de la Mordorée's "Dame Rousse" range: a most delicious introduction!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

The domaine offers expressive wines from the finest crus of the Vaucluse and Gard regions. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the determination to produce wines worthy of their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, carry on with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that is the hallmark of the domaine and this winegrowing family. A superb range of saline, fleshy whites and deep, delicate reds, driven by thirst-quenching tension and balance. The domaine's style is increasingly racy and precise. The fourth star is fast approaching.

About the wine:

This red wine is delicious, with a frank nose of red berries that evolves into blackcurrant with aeration. Straightforward attack, round mid-palate, strong aromas of blackcurrant and coffee, fine tannins, peppery finish: a composition without false notes.

About the domain :

Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 parcels and eight communes. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. A firm believer in low yields, the Delorme family is equally at home with tavel, lirac, châteauneuf-du-pape and "simple" côtes-du-rhône. Not to be missed.

About the wine:

Very attractive strawberry and watermelon aromas here, with fresh, juicy and attractive flavors too. Slightly creamy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
