The Domaine de la Mordorée is undoubtedly one of the most attractive estates in the Southern Rhône Valley. The Delorme family produces expressive biodynamic wines from the finest crus of the Vaucluse and Gard regions - Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac, Tavel - and strives to produce wines that are in total harmony with their terroir.

Their superb range of fresh and saline white wines, as well as deep and delicate red wines, filled with a thirst-quenching tension and a perfect balance, are an excellent opportunity for any wine lover. The estate has made great strides in recent years, bringing more depth, precision, and elegance to its wines, in a constant search for purity, the concentration of flavor, and outstanding naturalness.
