Producer Information

Domaine de la Mordore is a French wine producer based in the in the southern Rhne Valley appellation of Tavel. The domaine is best known for its dry ros and red blends from Rhne varieties such as Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. The first wines from the estate were produced in 1986 by brothers Christophe and Fabrice Delorme, who named the domaine after a local nickname for the woodcock. Soon after in 1989, a 3 hectare (7 acre) plot in Chteauneuf-du-Pape was acquired and today, is the source for the estate’s premier wine, Cuve de la Reine des Bois. This wine is only produced in exceptional vintages. The estate owns some 60 hectares (148 acres) of vineyard land spread throughout 38 plots in Tavel, Lirac, and Chteauneuf-du-Pape, as well as in the surrounding countryside. Here, large and rounded stones are found throughout the vineyards akin to much of the greater Ctes du Rhne. These stones prevent evapotranspiration and encourages sunlight penetration into the canopy. In the winery, Domaine de la Mordore employs both traditional and modern winemaking techniques. Grapes are destemmed as they arrive at the winery and fermented in both stainless steel tanks and small oak barrels. The wines are aged in new French oak and stainless steel vats before release.
