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
- WA95
- Delorme’s 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee la Reine des Bois is up with the top eight to ten wines of the vintage. Made from 80% Grenache then smaller amounts of Mourvèdre, Vaccarèse, Syrah and Counoise—all from the famed la Crau lieu-dit—it reveals an inky ruby color as well as sexy, youthful notes of barbecue smoke, black currants, licorice, toasted spice and graphite. Reminiscent of the estate`s terrific 2000 Cuvee de la Reine des Bois, this full-bodied, concentrated and layered beauty has plenty of tannin, terrific purity and a big finish. It will drink nicely for another decade.
