"Ripe raspberries, wild strawberries, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2023 Vin de France La Remise Rosé, a juicy, medium-bodied, beautifully balanced rosé that spans the gap between a Côtes du Provence style rosé and a Tavel."

- Jeb Dunnuck (Importer Highlight: Fran Kysela ; July 2024), 90 pts

"Light, bright orange. Ripe raspberry and tangerine aromas are given a spicy edge by a suggestion of white pepper. Gently chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and raspberry flavors that deepen slowly and turn sweeter on the back half. Clings nicely on the finish, which features subtle herb and floral notes. - Josh Raynolds"

"Light red with copper flecks. Showing a savory nose of red raspberries and strawberries with a fresh herbal accent, this is a dry, mineral-like version of Tavel rosé. The palate is crisp yet with good fruit flavor, finishing quite long and dry with lingering extract of red berry. A direct press blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Marselan and 30% Merlot from organically cultivated, 20 year old vines.- Don WINKLER"

"Deep, lurid pink. Mineral-accented cherry and citrus fruit aromas are complemented by discreet herbal and floral nuances. Concentrated and sappy in the mouth, offering juicy cherry, raspberry and blood orange flavors that slowly turn sweeter through the midpalate. The floral note returns on the long, penetrating finish, which leaves behind a juicy tangerine note and a flourish of spicy white pepper. - Josh Raynolds"

"This direct pressed rosé is crisp and fresh with hints of cranberry and pomegranate on the nose. More mineral like in character, if offers a brisk attack and a focused palate that finishes chalky dry with good persistence. 40% Grenache, 30% Marselan and 30% Merlot, hand harvested and direct pressed. - Don WINKLER"

"The base 2019 La Remise smells and tastes like a big bowl of ripe strawberries drizzled with a touch of kirsch. Possessing a Tavel-like color as well as level of richness, it’s beautifully balanced, has good acidity, and a clean, lengthy finish. It’s a beautiful, rich, dry rosé that’s going to shine on the dinner table. I suspect it will evolve like a great Tavel and drink well for 12-18 months.”

"Bright orange-pink. Mineral-accented red berries and citrus fruit aromas take on a floral accent in the glass. Fleshy but lively as well, offering ripe raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that combine power and finesse. Closes with firm grip, a repeating mineral note and good, red-fruit-dominated tenacity.- Josh Raynolds"

Go To Mordoree La Remise de la Mordoree Rose

"I tasted four rosés from Mordoree this year. Even the 2016 La Remise de la Mordoree Rose is a fresh, zesty glassful of fruit. A blend of 35% Marselan, 35% Merlot, 15% Grenache and 15% Syrah from a sandy site near Roquemaure, its berry, peach and melon flavors should be enjoyed over the next few months. - Joe Czerwinski”

"A big, ripe, textured beauty that stays fresh and lively on the palate, the medium pink colored 2015 La Remise de la Mordoree Rose gives up classic Tavel-like notes of framboise, flowers and ripe strawberries. It's a no brainer purchase to buy by the case. - Jeb Dunnuck"

Go To Mordoree La Remise de la Mordoree Rose

"Very light garnet. Showing notes of ripe strawberry and a hint of rhubarb, this is a full-flavored, yet dry rosé with rich extract on a long finish. With good structure and complex, somewhat earthy flavors, this is the rare rosé that may provoke discussion. A 50/50 blend of Marselean and Merlot grown using biodynamic methods."

"Light salmon in color, the La Remise offers aromas of strawberry, citrus and herbs. It has moderate intensity of flavor on the palate with crisp acidity and a long finish. A blend of Marselan and Merlot. - Don Winkler"

"The entry level rosé from this first-rate estate, the 2014 La Remise de la Mordoree Rose offers a Tavel-like profile of framboise, strawberries, crushed flowers and cherry blossom to go with a medium to full-bodied, rich, layered and beautifully balanced style on the palate. Made from a blend of Marselan (this is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache) and Merlot, it's a killer value that drinks like a 25 dollar Tavel. It's a no brainer that readers need to buy by the case and drink anytime over the coming year. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Made from a blend of equal parts Merlot and Marselan, the 2012 La Remise is a rich, yet beautifully pure and precise rose that dishes out loads of cherry, strawberry and hints of citrus aromas and flavors before turning juicy, fresh and mineral driven on the finish. Showing beautiful acidity as well as concentration, it can be consumed on its own or with food. Drink now-2013 - JD"

"Light salmon color. A fresh and very pleasing wine revealing light aromas and flavors of red berries and dried cherry. It shows more minerals than fruit and offers an especially dry, crisp finish. Very good value. A blend of 50% Marselan (a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache) and 50% Merlot. Alc 14.5%."

"The 2011 La Remise de la Mordoree Rose is outstanding. A curious blend of 50% Marselan (the result of a cross-breeding of Cabernet Sauvignon with Grenache) and 50% Merlot, notes of watermelon intermixed with raspberries and strawberries jump from the glass of this fresh, lively, amazingly concentrated, dry rose. This serious wine sets the standard for what Marselan and Merlot can do in what is a vin de France rather than a Cotes du Rhone appellation."
