Domaine de la Mordorée - La Remise de la Mordorée Rouge Sans Sulfites 2024
Domaine de la Mordorée is a family estate, created in 1986 by Francis and Christophe Delorme, the domaine brings together a 57-hectare vineyard divided into 38 plots spread over 8 communes. Is located in the south of France and also in the south of the Rhone Valley. Christophe is a perfectionist, passionate and visionary winemaker that has chosen to respect the terroir. The estate is organic in its entirety, with a biodynamic approach in the land and cellar. The harvest is all done by hand.
Vine training is done in a couple of ways: the goblet method is used for all old non-trained vines. This older method is still worthwhile and has the following advantages: better resistance to wind and drought and less sensitivity to wood disease (diseases that can kill the vine). The Royat cordon method is used for recently wire-trained vines. This new training technique offers many advantages: it makes it easy to train vines to certain minimum height, therefore increasing the amount of leafing exposed to the sun, and making the grapes richer in colour, tannins and sugar.
Domaine de la Mordorée only use natural products that are harmless for the environment, preserving the essential subsoil life: bacteria, insects, and earthworm. The latter are essential for a proper airing and enriching of the dirt. This treatment encourages the development of deep roots, which reduces soil erosion, a scourge of modern vineyards.
The vineyards receive a great deal of attention during the season: disbudding, which entail removing all stems and branches that hamper the bunches of grapes, early harvesting to keep yields low, thinning the plants to enhance air circulation and berry maturation.
Having perfectly healthy and ripe grapes first is the preliminary step for a winery to develop wines with complexity. Vinification is the stage where the winemaker lends its hand. The combination of the two, at Domaine de la Mordorée results in very concentrated wines with perfectly blended tannins, dense, full-bodied, and fruity, already delicious young but with a great aging potential, expressing their breed and origin through time.
