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
- One of the blockbusters in the vintage, the inky-colored 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape La Reine des Bois – 80% Grenache, completely destemmed and aged 12 months in 80% stainless steel and 20% old barrels – offers fantastic richness and depth in its blackberry liqueur, graphite, wood smoke and crushed-rock-like aromas and flavors. An elegant, stylish and polished example of this cuvee, it comes closest in my mind to a lighter-weight 2010. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and with fine tannin, it will drink well for 10-15 years.
