For the record:<\/h2>\n

Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, it's located just a few kilometers from Avignon, in the Southern Rh\u00f4ne Valley.<\/span>\u00a0The family owes its success to Christophe Delorme, who in the space of 30 years has brought the estate into the big league.<\/span> He's a passionate winemaker who shares his love and respect for the land.<\/span> The entire vineyard has been converted to Biodynamic farming.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2016, Madeleine Delorme and their daughter Ambre have continued Christophe's work with a team trained by him.<\/span> They have chosen to preserve the company's values and continue to produce the very best wines.<\/span>\u00a0The\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0Mordor\u00e9e takes its name from their favorite bird, the woodcock.<\/span>\u00a0They also chose 3 other nicknames in addition to the\u00a0\u00a0\"Mordor\u00e9e \"<\/span>\u00a0such as \"La Remise\", \"La Dame Rousse\", \"La Dame voyageuse\".\u00a0and\"<\/span>\u00a0La Reine des Bois\" is the symbol for the names of the 4 cuv\u00e9es.<\/span>\u00a0Like\u00a0vintage<\/span>\u00a0exceptional\u00a0\u00a0\"The<\/span>\u00a0feather of the\u00a0painter \"<\/span>\u00a0also occurs.<\/span> The estate is farmed organically and biodynamically. The grapes are harvested by hand. Situated at the crossroads of Provence and Languedoc, La Mordor\u00e9e produces some of the finest vintages in the Rh\u00f4ne Valley: Tavel (where the winery is located), Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape, Lirac, C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne, Vin de France and Condrieu.<\/span><\/p>\n

A quality environment :<\/h2>\n

One of this estate's greatest achievements is to have recreated sustainable ecosystems in vineyards that have visibly withstood extraordinary events. Among these were the floods in September 2002 following heavy rainfall.\u00a0600mm<\/span>\u00a0in two days, or the heatwave of summer 2003.<\/span>\u00a0Thanks to our research, the natural balances of the different terroirs will enable the vines to have natural defenses against the aggressions of insects, fungi, bacteria or climatic excesses.<\/span><\/p>\n
