Tasting Notes
A 50/50 blend of Grenache and Syrah coming from the sandy rocky vineyards of Domaine de la Mordoree. All their sites are Demeter certified which is a very strict Biodynamic farming certification that means their farming is meticulous and the wines tend to reflect that. Here you have the a very long sultry Lirac layed with red fruits and berries from the Grenache that are enhanced by the savoury pepper and spice from the Syrah. - Pete L
Founded in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, a gifted viticulturist, this family-owned estate is nestled in the heart of the Rhône Valley in southern France. Renowned for its commitment to sustainable agriculture - a philosophy deeply ingrained by the late Christophe Delorme - the domaine practices biodynamic farming to craft modern Rhône wines. By skillfully balancing tradition with innovation, the estate produces wines of remarkable character, with its top cuvées benefiting from a judicious use of French oak.
