Vinous on DOMAINE DE LA MORDORÉE
|
|
... Domaine de la Mordorée emphasizes organic and biodynamic practices, with all wines certified biodynamic as of 2022. Trees are integral to the vineyard ecosystem for providing shade, with over 300 linden and oak trees replanted just last winter. Mordorée produces wines exclusively from its own vineyards, with no négociant business involved. The Lirac Blanc La Reine des Bois, which blends seven varieties led by Grenache Blanc, showed less impressively in 2021 compared to the riper 2022. The Tavel-based La Dame Rousse is a pleasant and simple Rosé, whereas the more serious La Reine de Bois stands out as one of the finest Rosés in the South of France – the 2022 and 2023 vintages are both noteworthy. The reds here are always made from fully destemmed grapes, resulting in a fruit-driven profile. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape offerings include the approachable La Dame Voyageuse, a cuvée created in 2014, and the more age-worthy and complex La Reine de Bois...

Wine Enthusiast, January 2024
Made from 30% Grenache blanc, 20% Clairette, with the remainder other white Rhône varieties, this wine presents delicate, tart Meyer lemon, lime and white-peach aromas. It is linear, revealing layers with time in the decanter. Fresh almonds encased in lemongrass, citrus pith and light brioche make for a complex palate. Its pithiness should contrast nicely against rich, buttery sauces. |

Wine Advocate, May 2023
A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 10% Clairette, the 2022 Tavel La Reine des Bois is a touch darker in hue than its stablemate, the La Dame Rousse, but it's still not among the darkest of Tavels in the glass. That's perfectly okay, as the aromas and flavors are textbook for the appellation: crushed stone, flowering garrigue, ripe cherries and mouthwatering strawberries, all capped off by refreshing citrus-zest notes on the lengthy finish. Full-bodied and full-flavored, it's one of the candidates for top Tavel this year.

Wine Advocate, May 2023
The 2022 Tavel La Dame Rousse is on the lighter-hued side for Tavel, but it is still a full-bodied, full-flavored effort. A blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 15% Syrah and 10% Clairette, it offers up scents of crushed stone, alpine strawberries, watermelon and a touch of garrigue on the nose, while being pleasantly expansive and rich in the mouth, with a lingering, gently persistent finish.
