The Winery
Domaine de la Mordoree
Although it is a relatively recent property, Domaine de la Mordoree is an esteemed producer hailing from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of France. Founded in 1986 by Fabrice and Christophe Delorme in the Southern Rhone appellation of Tavel, the brothers make a high-end rosé along with fine Lirac and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Christophe was able to replant most of the vineyards and modernize the winery, and today they have nearly 100 acres planted throughout Southern Rhône. With historic lieu-dits as well as vines older than 100 years, Domaine de la Mordoree takes terroir to a whole new level and is continuously releasing only the best bottlings.
Tasting Notes
- WA97
- A wine I’ve been lucky enough to have numerous times recently, the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de La Reine des Bois is gorgeous. Quite possibly the wine of the vintage, it shows thrilling levels of blackberry, licorice, toasted bread, and garrigue to go with a full-bodied, massive, yet layered and seamless feel on the palate. There’s none of the rusticity or coarse tannin that’s common in the vintage, and it possesses beautiful purity, sweetness of fruit and length. Drink it over the coming 2-4 years.
- WS97
- Captivating raspberry ganache and cassis aromas and flavors pump through this richly layered beauty, with notes of melted licorice, bittersweet cocoa, fig paste and hoisin sauce. The long, driven finish drips with fruit and minerality, with seriously embedded structure. Best from 2010 through 2030.
