Domaine de la Mordorée - Côtes-du-Rhône rouge 2020
90/100
James Suckling
"A most delicious introduction!"
"Beautiful ripe cherries balance the generous, moderately dry tannins and lively acidity well. The alcohol adds a warm touch to the clean finish." " (James Suckling 2022) This Côtes-du-Rhône opens the ball in the Domaine de la Mordorée range. A very fruity red, offering aromas of violet and blackcurrant on the nose, with great elegance, and a palate that plays on finesse, with fine, mellow tannins and good length.

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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 03/05/2022
CDR with a wild and powerful fruitiness, revealing great aromatic complexity resulting from a blend of five young grape varieties. Fresh on the palate, although slightly tannic. Finely spiced finish with a hint of pepper. Score: 3.6. Ideally, this bottle should be left to age until at least 2023. However, it was deliberately tasted prematurely with marinated pig's trotters, seasoned with a touch of Espelette pepper.
