Product Description

RP96 "A blockbuster-styled effort, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de La Reine des Bois doesn’t pull any punches and gives up rocking aromas and flavors of black raspberry, cassis, graphite, spice-box, lavender and herbs. Possessing full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and thrilling purity, it can be enjoyed now for its exuberant character, but will also evolve gracefully going forward." JD for TWA Oct 2014

NM96 "This is very pure and primal on the nose with scents of blackberry, earth, violets and fennel. It is tight at first, but unwinds nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, superb poise and mineralite with razor-sharp precision on the finish. This is a supremely well-crafted Chateauneuf-du-Pape." NM for WJ Sep 2011

Jeb Dunnuck for RobertParker.com writes, As I wrote in the intro for this domaine last year, Domaine de la Mordoree is a reference point estate for Chateauneuf du Pape. Run by the talented brother duo of Fabrice and Christophe Delorme, with Christophe making the wines, they produce a relatively modern-styled Chateauneuf, as well as more than noteworthy Liracs and Tavels."
