2025 Domaine de la Mordoree Tavel La Dame Rousse Rose 750ML

Rose Wine from Rhône Valley, France

Tavel is famous for Rose. One of the great producers in the Southern Rhone is Domaine de la Mordoree (woodcock), located in the town of Tavel. In 1986, the brothers Christophe and Fabrice Delorme decided to dedicate themselves to their passion for wine. They started their own estate with the objective to produce the best wines in each appellation while preserving the environment. Mordoree is a benchmark Tavel Rose producer. Domaine De La Mordoree Tavel La Dame Rousse is a perfect example of this incredible appellation in the south of France, just across the river from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Sporting a translucent ruby hue, it has a textbook Tavel nose of wild strawberries, raspberries, minty garrigue, and white flowers. It’s beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length, with a clean, crisp, dry finish. Rosé doesn’t get much better!  and I wish I could pour this beauty for every reader interested in what Tavel offers. A biodynamically grown wine that is a Grenache-dominated blend of many varieties and derived from grapes grown on each of the three distinctively different terroirs of Tavel. Attractive medium-depth rosé colour. Lovely complex bouquet of red fruit, peach and orange zest. Mouth-filling rosé wine with delicious ripe fruit flavors, balanced acidity and touches of tannin. Perfect match to a hot summers day! Delicious with poultry, fish, shrimp and light spicy Asian cuisine.
