Domaine de la Mordorée

La Reine des Bois Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

This is a nice and easy drinking Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Showing red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

I had this vintage a year ago at the winery, and it was drinking so much better then.

Good by itself and better with food.

A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. Aged in (20% new) large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$125.

La Reine Blanche Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2025

2025 vintage. Sense of place, balance and harmony. What I generally like about Sancerre blanc written would fill the entirety of your thumbnail. This, however, is clean, has some mineralité and drinking well now with extra concentration and length of finish oomph. Picked up 3 cases. 8.12.26. — 2 months ago

Millésime de Collection Special Club Chardonnay Champagne 2002

94-95

A grower champagne I always enjoy, but I’ve not had their special club offering with this much age before. I’ve been missing out! A stunner!

54% Cramant, 31% Chouilly (both Grand Crus), with 15% Cuis (Premier Cru); all old vines. Disgorged July 2012; 6g/l dosage

This may be an example of hitting lightening in a bottle, but this caught me (and others I was with) totally off-guard at how youthful it was…and more importantly, how unbelievably good it was. Channeling an oxidative flair at this point in its evolution, this scratched the itch for creamy, powerful, golden champagne. Autolysis on full display (in the best way) with lemon scone, honey roasted cashews, spiced pears aromatically. Honeyed graham crackers, lemon cream, Biscotti cookie, kiss of ginger and plenty of chalky limestone grit toward the finish (but the sweet autolysis lengthens it out beautifully). For me, this tasted like this was the exact right day to catch this wine at peak.

I wish I had a case of these.
