La Mordorée Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois 2022

Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois 2022 is based on 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, with the remainder composed of Counoise and Vaccarèse. It's not massive, but it exudes class and elegance, with red and black fruits giving way to spice, peppery garrigue and leather, with classic licorice and black olive notes in the background. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced and elegant, with silky tannins, this brilliant Châteauneuf du Pape will evolve for two decades... Jeb Dunnuck
