Mordoree Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge La Reine des Bois
Domaine de la Mordoree
France - Rhone Valley - Chateauneuf du Pape AOC   

This premium cuvee - whose name means "Queen of the Woods" - is from 65-year-old vines, planted on Villafranchian-era terrasses on the Plateau de la Crau, in siliceous-clay soils and cobble stones. 

An intense and deep ruby red color, aromas of red and black fruits, violet and liquorice on the nose. On the palate the wine is dense, fat and rounded with a long, fruity finish.

2022 Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois - 98 PTS - DECANTER

2022 Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois - 98 PTS - DECANTER

decanter logo 250"Huge and powerful, but so fresh. This has great driving intensity, with even bigger, more structural tannins than the domaine’s other cuvée. A rampaging Châteauneuf that will take time to settle, and will always be wild. Long, vibrant and chiselled. An absolute beast. Mordorée has been massive but overripe in the past; it's still massive but with this vintage the ripeness is more controlled, and it has transformed into something extraordinary. Fermented and aged 80% in stainless steel, the rest in old barrels. - Matt WALLS"
