DOMAINE DE LA MORDOREE - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE - LA REINE DES BOIS ROUGE
Admitting that nature is much more talented than man, the Domaine de la Mordorée has the unique terroirs of the Rhone Valley allowing different varieties to express themselves fully and offer aromatic subtleties devoid of artifice to each product for sale.
Respecting the principles of organic viticulture, the team of this winery undertakes to leave the natural yeast strains present in all of its terroirs, and constantly monitors the evolution of fermentation by regular checks and analyzes performed by an external oenologist.
Convinced that great wines come from high quality, the Domaine de la Mordorée pays particular attention to the entire vineyard, especially at all stages of wine making, from the vintage to the winemaking.

The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois was bottled just two weeks before I visited the domaine in June, but despite that, it seemed open, lush and delicious on both occasions I tasted it (once blind a week later). Hints of oak and licorice accent black cherries in this big, plush, velvety-textured wine, which is 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% each Syrah and Vaccarèse. It's silky enough to enjoy young but has the requisite stuffing to age well for more than a decade. Stephan Reinhardt - 31/08/2019
