La charmante famille Delorme, propriétaire du Domaine de la Mordorée, est profondément attachée à son terroir, au sens le plus large du terme. Pour les membres de la famille, le « terroir » ne représente pas qu’une expression géologique ou géographique; il s’agit plutôt d’un concept qui englobe toutes les formes de vie évoluant dans ce milieu et tout ce qui a trait à la manière dont ils y mènent leur vie.

Deep violet. Vibrant, mineral-accented red/blue fruit preserve scents are complemented by baking spice and potpourri topnotes. Sappy and concentrated on the palate, showing vibrant lift and energy to intense blueberry, cherry cola, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen with air. Finishes sweet, seamless and impressively long, with steadily building tannins adding shape and closing grip.

What a beautifully ripe mulberry aroma this Chateauneuf has! An imposing but stunningly fine tannin structure neatly supports the richness and concentration on the full-bodied palate. Very long, creamy and dry finish with a pronounced licorice note that pulls you inexorably back for more. A complex blend based on grenache. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

The Grand Vin 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Reine Des Bois checks in as a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest equal parts Syrah and Vaccarèse.

Blackberries, black cherries, cracked pepper, and new leather notes are all present in this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, rich, and structured 2020. There's a firmness here that reminds me a little of the 2005, yet it's a more up-front, charming wine that will benefit from just short-term cellaring, which is very much in the style of the vintage.
