MNSC Rhone Trip Day 4: de la Mordorée

Visit to Domaine de la Mordorée in Tavel, where we were received by Fabrice Delorme.

2010 la Mordorée Lirac Blanc La Reine des Bois – floral, fresh, tropical fruits like musk melon, pear and minerals.

(2011?) la Mordorée Lirac Blanc – really fruity, Anjou pear, flint, a little sharp but not from the alcohol.

2010 la Mordorée Tavel Rosé La Dame Rousse – ripe on the palate, a little alcoholic. Mineral notes. Pretty good.

2009 la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Dame Rousse – forest, potpourri, some fruit, mint. Some chewy tannins.

2009 la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Reine des Bois – a bigger wine, with some fruit and still a lot of tannins.

2009 la Mordorée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge La Reine des Bois – lots of mint, forest, very sweet mid-palate but loads of tannins.

2010 la Mordorée Lirac Rouge La Reine des Bois, trial blend – leaner with forest notes.

2010 la Mordorée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge La Reine des Bois – minty, forest. Nice. Sweet on the palate, with very big tannins.
