Domaine de la Mordoree "La Dame Rousse" Tavel Rose 2024

Jeb Dunnuck : 94 Points

(6/16/2025) The 2024 Domaine De La Mordoree Tavel La Dame Rousse is the classic base Tavel and it's based on 60% Grenache, 15% each of Cinsault and Syrah, and the rest Clairette. It’s a perfect example of this incredible appellation in the south of France, just across the river from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Sporting a translucent ruby hue, it has a textbook Tavel nose of wild strawberries, raspberries, minty garrigue, and white flowers. It's beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length, with a clean, crisp, dry finish. Rosé doesn't get much better, and I wish I could pour this beauty for every reader interested in what Tavel offers. Maturity: 2025 - 2026.

(6/26/2025) The 2024 Tavel La Dame Rousse is a striking success, offering up a vibrant, gourmand bouquet of strawberries, raspberries, red berries, spring flowers and subtle spice. Sourced from vines rooted in the estate’s three principal soil types—limestone (lauzes), sand and galets roulés—it’s medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with an enveloping core of juicy fruit and excellent depth. The finish is long, peppery and floral, with a mouthwatering sense of energy and tension that sets this vintage apart from its predecessors. Drink Date: 2025 - 2035.
