2019 DOMAINE DE LA MORDOREE LA DAME ROUSSE LIRAC ROUGE
2019 DOMAINE DE LA MORDOREE "LA DAME ROUSSE" LIRAC, FRANCE. 50% Grenache 50% Syrah. (Biodynamic)
92 points James Suckling: "For this appellation this is a remarkably restrained and rather elegant red with complex red-fruit, baking-spice and terra-cotta aromas. The self-confidently dry tannins build gently and keep the alcohol well in check until right at the end, when you do feel a touch of warmth. A blend of grenache and syrah. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
From the Winemaker: "Domaine de la Mordoree Lirac La Dame Rousse Rouge is a very dense, dark red color. Aromas of ripe red fruits (strawberry, cherry). Smooth, round tannins and a long and fresh finish."
About: In 1986, the brothers Christophe and Fabrice Delorme, along with their father Francis, decided to dedicate themselves to their passion for wine. They bought an estate in Tavel with the goal of producing the best wines in each appellation while preserving the environment. Within a decade, they had achieved that goal, and continued getting better and better each year. Domaine de la Mordoree produces some of the best wines, and they have selected and maintained some of the finest terroirs. Their Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds & Whites, and Tavel Rosés are amidst the most highly rated of the region.
To quote Robert Parker: "With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations..."
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 soils are the result of millions of years of plate tectonics, climate changes, the growth and melting of glaciers, submersion by seas, lakes or huge rivers. All those events contributed to the formation of successive layers, the vineyards striking their roots only in the last top meters. (Importer)
