Summary

Nestled in the prestigious terroirs of the Southern Rhône Valley, Domaine de la Mordorée stands as a testament to exceptional winemaking craftsmanship. Founded in 1986, this esteemed estate derives its name from the 'Mordorée' woodcock, a game bird that embodies the family's passion for nature and their commitment to environmental stewardship.

Under the meticulous guidance of the Delorme family, the domaine has earned its place among the elite producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Tavel.

The estate's philosophy centers on minimal intervention, allowing each vineyard parcel to express its unique character through the wines.

Their 60 hectares of vineyards, spread across prestigious appellations including Tavel, Lirac, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, are cultivated following strict organic principles, certified since 2013. The diverse terroir, characterized by iconic galets roulés (rolled stones), limestone, and sandy soils, provides the perfect foundation for their exceptional wines.

Domaine de la Mordorée's flagship cuvées, particularly 'La Reine des Bois' in both red and rosé, showcase the pinnacle of Southern Rhône winemaking.

These wines consistently garner international acclaim for their remarkable depth, complexity, and ability to age gracefully.

The estate's commitment to excellence extends from vineyard management through to vinification, where traditional methods merge seamlessly with modern precision. Each vintage tells the story of its terroir, the seasonal conditions, and the family's unwavering dedication to producing wines of distinction and authenticity.

The result is a collection of wines that perfectly balance power with elegance, tradition with innovation.
