Domaine de la Mordorée - Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois 2014
92-94/100
Robert Parker
Purer, straighter, and more elegant than La Belle Voyageuse, the 2014 Reine des Bois vintage is reminiscent of 2006 with its lovely fruit, rich structure, concentration, and length. Made from Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Counoise, and Vaccarese, it undergoes 30 days of maceration and is aged in stainless steel vats and barrels. This is a vintage to be enjoyed younger, but it will still have 10 to 15 years of longevity. (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The estate offers expressive wines from the finest vineyards in Vaucluse and Gard. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the aim of producing wines that live up to their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that characterizes the estate and this winegrowing family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, enlivened by a thirst-quenching tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is moving towards increasingly racy and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 plots and eight communes. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. Advocates of low yields, the Delormes produce vintages with disconcerting ease, whether in Tavel, their original stronghold, Lirac, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or "simple" Côtes-du-Rhône. Unmissable.
