"A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 10% Clairette, the knockout 2012 Tavel Rose La Dame Rousse has lively watermelon, cherry and mineral aromas that all come soaring from the glass. Beautifully pure and delineated on the palate, with juicy acidity and a seamless texture, this seriously classy rose has both richness and freshness. While it will drink nicely for 2-3 years, bottles won’t last that long in my house. Drink now-2013. - JD"
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #207, June 2013), 92 pts

"Medium dark pink. This is very good wine, revealing a soft perfume of fresh field strawberries that carries over to a flavorful, well balanced palate, finishing dry and crisp. A beautiful Tavel. A blend of 60% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 10% Mourvèdre. 5% Bourboulenc and 5% Clairette."

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.
