Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rhone Valley Red
The 2007 Mordorée Reine des Bois displays an elegant maturity, where the freshness of ripe fruit mingles with notes of fine licorice and a subtle mineral touch. The established structure of this Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a sense of poise, promising a slender finish and beautiful evolution.
Located in the small village of Tavel, this property was established in 1986 by Francis DELORME and currently consists of 55 hectares of vineyards spread across 8 different municipalities.
His son Christophe DELORME gradually purchased small, well-located plots in the prestigious appellations of the Southern Rhône Valley (Lirac, Tavel, Châteauneuf-du-Pape), with a specific philosophy: to produce the best wine in each appellation while respecting nature and people.
To achieve this, meticulous vineyard management, soil work, and care for the vines are implemented, thus regularly yielding beautiful grapes; an absolute condition for making great wines. In recognition of all these efforts, the wines from the estate have quickly been recognized and acclaimed by critics such as the Revue du Vin de France, Wine Spectator, and Robert PARKER.
A passionate hunter and bird lover, Christophe DELORME chose to name his Lirac and Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines after the woodcock bird: "La Dame Rousse" and "La Reine des Bois".
<b>Today</b>
Following the death of Christophe DELORME in 2015, his wife Madeleine and daughter Ambre now carry on the philosophy of the estate.
