About this winery

The Delormes of Domaine de la Mordorée are a lovely family, committed to their terroir in the broadest possible sense. For them 'terroir' is not merely an expression of geology or geography: rather it is a concept that embraces the totality of life in the place where they live and everything about the way they conduct their lives in that place. They consider themselves to be 'guardiens' of the local ecology, which is why they farm biodynamically, and why they have chosen 'la Mordorée' as...

Tasting notes

This cuvée, vinified and aged without added sulfites, retains all the crispness and deliciousness of the main grape variety: Marselan. Deep ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits. Full-bodied and fruity.

A carbon copy of last year, if not better, and honestly the best Vin de France I have ever tasted. It is made with no added sulphites so that ageing might be dodgy, but it is so tasty now, so why bother waiting? It comes off a sixteen year old vineyard, and the blend is hand-harvested, 50/50, marselan/grenache (Demeter certified biodynamic) grown over sand with a bit of clay. The vinification is simple: they destem the fruit, crush it, and ferment and macerate it for 20 days. The palate is soft and silky with intense, pure black cherry. There is a minimal amount of tannin with a peppery finish. Food friendly.

This is the best Vin de France I have ever tasted, and it's made with no added sulphites. It comes off a fifteen year old vineyard, and the blend is hand harvested, 50/50, marselan/grenache (Demeter certified) grown over sand with a little clay. The vinification is simple. The fruit is destemmed and crushed before going through a 20-day maceration. The result is a silky textured red wine bursting with pure black cherry, with innocent ripeness. There is a touch of tannin that allows you to serve up some grilled beef. Otherwise, a favourite cheese is all this needs to set it off. Simply delicious. I would drink this up over three years, given there are no added sulphites.
