Deeply concentrated and penetrating with blackberry and black cherry flavors, this pale ruby rosé offers the zesty fruit character that rosé lovers demand alongside an intensity and structure craved by red wine drinkers. A touch more spry than the producer’s more richly concentrated La Reine des Bois, it’s a delicately spiced, pepper-edged rosé that can be enjoyed yearround. (AI)

Blood orange and redcurrant aromas, which are presently quite discreet. Full-bodied, certainly dry and savoury with a good sense of amplitude on the palate. Good acidity, well balanced, with real length and flavour. Also contains 10% Clairette. This is a biodynamic producer, Demeter certified and run by Ambre Delorme. (MW)

The base 2021 Tavel is another winner. More framboise, raspberry, and exotic flower notes define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with bright acidity, terrific balance, and some obvious minerality on the finish. It's another winner. The 2021s show the fresher style of the vintage but don’t lack ripeness and have plenty of texture. As usual, all of these wines are impeccably made and worth seeking out.

Attractively juicy and easy to enjoy, thanks to the generous red-berry, nectarine and citrus-peel character on the nicely balanced, medium-bodied palate. Crisp finish with a touch of tannin giving it drive. A blend dominated by grenache and syrah. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

Nobody does Tavel like Domaine De La Mordoree. The Dame Rousse hits that magic point perfectly- it is full and expressive the way that Tavel should be, but resolves beautifully with a crisp, fresh, long finish. I love the wild strawberry fruit, the layers of flavor, and most of all the refreshment on the back end. Treat yourself to the best producer of Tavel!

Notes

91 points Terroir Sense: "Medium dark pink with an orangy tinge. Red berries, fresh citrus, nectarine and pomegranate vie for attention on the nose and in the mouth. Finishes lively and with a saline edge. A blend of 60% Grenache, 10% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah along with 5% Bourboulenc and 5% Clairette, planted on the area’s typical cobblestone-rich soil (the famous galets roulés), white limestones and sandy soils. This estate in Tavel belongs to the famous Domaine de la Mordorée of Châteauneuf-du-Pape fame, with its vineyards planted in the Vallongue plateau, around the villages of Palai, Roquanaute and Romagnac."
