2021 Domaine de la Mordoree La Reine des Bios Chateauneuf Du Pape

Abundantly rich and concentrated yet refined with chewy tannins and a long, relatively elegant finish.

Pitch black dark red colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Aromas of black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry waft through the nostrils followed by notes of scorched earth, dried herbs, leather and pepper. Abundantly rich and concentrated yet more refined than the 2022 vintage, the medium to full bodied palate is engulfed with black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits which are backed by a chewy tannin structure. Infusions of provincial herbs, scorched earth, leather and pepper linger across the back half. Excellent power with a long, relatively elegant finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 15%

A complex and beautifully balanced Chateauneuf for the challenging vintage with a wide spectrum of fruit aromas ranging from ripe cherry to wild blackberry, but also wild herbs and summer flowers. Barely full-bodied thanks to the mineral freshness and the crisp tannins. A cuvee of 80% grenache, 10% mourvedre, 5% syrah and 5% vaccarese. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The flagship 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois is slightly deeper hued, with more blackberry and darker cherry fruits intermixed with notions of roasted herbs, black licorice, and peppery garrigue. It's concentrated and medium to full-bodied, with building structure and a great finish. I'd put it up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years. The 2021 is a normal blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest Vaccarèse, from the Le Bois de la Ville, La Crau, and La Nerthe lieux-dits, that was destemmed and aged mostly in stainless steel (80%) with the rest in used barrels and a splash of new oak. Drink 2023-2038.
