Product Description

Overview

Winery: Mordoree

Mordoree La Remise de la Mordoree Rouge 2012 is made from 50% Marselan (Marselan is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache), 50% Merlot.
9 year old vines.
100% destemmed, long 30 days maceration with a maximum of 28°C temperature.
Strong red color, blackberry and raspberry fruit on the nose complemented by floral notes of violet. Rich and powerful on the palate with strong flavors and a nice concentration. Long finish.
Food pairing: red meats with sauce, grilled meats, game birds and semi-mature cheeses.

"Made from the same blend as the rose, the striking 2012 La Remise de la Mordoree red is one of the great red wine values in the marketplace. An intense ruby/purple color is followed by notes of rich plum and black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of licorice and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied with striking concentration, abundant glycerin and impressive purity, it is difficult to believe one can get this much wine for a meager $13.00. - RP"

The Mordoree Estate

This is arguably the top estate in our Portfolio. Domaine de la Mordoree (woodcock), located in the town of Tavel, in the Southern Rhone Valley, is the most consistent producer of top quality wine in my entire selection. In 1986, the brothers Christophe and Fabrice Delorme decided to dedicate themselves to their passion for wine. They started their own estate with the objective to produce the best wines in each appellation while preserving the environment

The Mordoree Vineyard

The vineyard consists of 55 hectares (135 acres), on 38 different parcels, which provide with a rich, wide range of soils and climates. The soil is a mix of clay, chalk and sand with pebble stones. The improvements at the Domaine have been incredible: new pneumatic presses, new stainless steel vats, new destemmer, new vinification and aging plant, and aging in oak barrels for the top wines. All the grapes are raised by culture raisonnée which is very close to organic viticulture (intervention in the vineyard only when necessary). The yield is reduced in the vineyard by ébourgeonnage (de budding in spring) and vendanges vertes in summer (green harvesting). Oak aging for the top wines in special barrels like “jupille” for 10 months. No expense is spared at this Domaine to achieve quality.
