2010 Lirac, La Reine des Bois, Domaine de la Mordorée

Lirac, La Reine des Bois, Domaine de la Mordoree
Christophe uses no oak in this excellent Lirac, something of a surprise when one considers its weight and complexity. The blend is shared equally between Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre ; the plaudits are shared equally between elegance, power and finesse, an impressive combination from an impressive wine. Fresh raspberries, fine tannins and real energy.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

The Delorme brothers have, since 1986, forged an enviable reputation. They are based to the south-east in the village of Tavel, celebrated for its rosé wines, but they also own 4 hectares of vines on the Crau plateau of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and a very well-positioned parcel in Lirac. Christophe is adamant that 2010 is their best ever vintage; the key to its quality is the juxtaposition of trademark concentration and very fine tannins, much finer, he maintains than in 2007 or 2009, both highly successful years of course. Mordorée are aiming for full organic certification in 2013, aided in no small measure by the new member of the team…Sarko the horse…(at least I think that this is the name they gave!)
