Domaine de la Mordoree

The domain was founded in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his two sons Fabrice and Christophe Delorme. Mordoree takes its name from a wild game bird, the woodcock. The estate practices organic farming in all their vineyard locations, and acquired their organic certification in 2013. Their vineyards consist of 55 hectares, on 38 different parcels, which provide a wide range of soils and climates. Their vineyards planted in the rocky terroir of La Crau, are over 100 years of age. Mordoree incorporates both the best of traditional techniques with some modern influences, including the use of small barrels, emphasis on biodynamic viticulture, low sulfur, and pure, exceptional fruit from their vineyards. No expense is spared at this Domaine to achieve quality. Sadly Christophe Delorme passed away in 2015. His legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, his wife Madeleine, as well as a talented team that includes winemaker Remy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Last year, Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”
