Domaine de la Mordoree is in Tavel, in the southern Rhone Valley. The 135-acre estate in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellations is owned and run by Christophe Delorme, who started the winery in 1986. His vineyards are in La Crau, La Nerthe, Cabrieres, Le Bois de Ville. He also have vineyards in Lirac, Tavel and in Cotes du Rhone. Named after a woodcock, or "mordoree," the estate has earned a stellar reputation for its portfolio of wines, which include red, white and rose. The flagship wine is the Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee La Reine des Bois (“the queen of the woods”), which typically earns outstanding ratings from critics. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “anything labeled Cuvee La Reine des Bois is a must purchase. Furthermore, Mordoree’s assortment of roses and Cotes du Rhones are out of this world.”
