DOMAINE DE LA MORDORÉE LA REINE DES BOIS LIRAC BLANC
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 oak in the 2018 Lirac Blanc La Reine des Bois has been pared back to only 10% (used barrels), allowing more melon fruit to show through than in the past. A blend of 35% Grenache, 25% Clairette, 15% Roussanne, 10% each Marsanne and Viognier and 5% Picpoul, it's full-bodied, round and honeyed. Soft and approachable, it should be consumed over the next year or two. Joe Czerwinski - 01/11/2019
