A suave and sophisticated Chateauneuf for the challenging 2021 vintage. Plenty of very fine tannins on the velvety medium- to full-bodied palate are wrapped in a wide array of summer flower and red berry fruit aromas. Long and complex wild herb and savory finish. Delicious and ageworthy. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. Rating: 94 Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com (Jun 2024)

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Dame Voyageuse offers a pleasant aromatic profile consisting of strawberry, cranberry and leafy components. Enveloped in soft tannins and medium-bodied at most, the 2021 closes with a bright finish of moderate length. Drinking range: 2024 - 2030 Rating: 89 Nicholas Greinacher - Vinousmedia.com (Jun 2024)

The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Dame Voyageuse is darker in color and slightly more Grenache-dominated, made up of 90% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, Vaccarese, and Counoise. Blackberries, violets, graphite, and peppery garrigue all define the bouquet. and it's medium to full-bodied, with beautiful balance, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish.

Domaine de la Mordorée

Started in 1986 by the Delorme family, Domaine de la Mordorée has become one of the top estates in the Rhône, with arguably the most consistent quality. The word 'Mordorée', literally 'bronze' or 'golden-brown' is one of the many poetic names for a woodcock, the symbol of the domaine. Other such names include the cuvée names - 'La Belle Voyageuse' (the beautiful traveller), and 'La Dame Rousse' (the russet lady). Founding winemaker Christophe Delorme's objective was to be unintrusive and maintain total respect for his terroir and the fruit it produces, striving to achieve a perfect balance between concentration, terroir and balance.

The domaine consists of 55 Hectares, on 38 different parcels, providing a rich, wide range of soils and micro-climates. The whole domaine has been certified organic since 2007.

Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.
