"Ethereal stuff that has everything, the 2003 Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois has classically-styled (especially when compared to the Plume du Peintre) aromas and flavors of black and red fruits, truffle, garrigue, saddle leather and pan drippings. Full-bodied and gorgeously concentrated on the palate, it remains perfectly balanced and fresh, with no apparent weight or heaviness, superb purity and a monster finish. Giving the ’01 a run for its money, it handedly surpassed the Plume du Peintre on this occasion."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
