DOMAINE DE LA MORDORÉE - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois - 2019

DOMAINE DE LA MORDORÉE

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois 2019

The only 2019 presented, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Reine Des Bois checks in 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Vaccarèse that was brought up 20% in old barrels and 80% in tank. This inky hued 2019 boasts a beautiful nose of ripe dark fruits, smoked earth, licorice, and garrigue. With wonderful purity (which is a hallmark of the vintage), full-bodied richness, and a decadent, opulent texture, this is thrilling stuff all the way. It’s going to flirt with perfection and evolve for two decades or more.
