Born
from a deep-rooted winegrowing background, it was only in 1986 that
we dedicated ourselves entirely to our passion for wine: we consequently
sold all our other businesses in the field of hi-tech ventilated suits.
This
choice was matured through long consideration and thought for both
quality and environment-friendliness. Our goal was clear : produce
the best wine in each of our appellations while preserving nature
and man. We therefore acquired new lands, broadening our vineyard
and enriching our appellations, with new cherished parcels of land,
as was the case for Châteauneuf du Pape, in 1989.
In
time, we thus constituted a 60 hectares vineyard, on 38 different
plots of land, in 8 different districts. This parcelling of our lands
provides us with a rich, wide range of soils and microclimates.
Faithful
to our passion for the woodcock, we decided to name the Domaine
after its “poetical” nickname : La Mordorée ;
we then used two other nicknames for our two other vintages :
“La Dame Rousse” (the Redheaded
Lady) “La Reine des Bois” (the Queen of
the Woods).
