Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois 2005 from Domaine de la Mordorée is a powerful yet finely detailed expression of the estate’s renowned terroir. Crafted predominantly from old-vine Grenache, with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other permitted varietals, it reflects the estate’s commitment to intensity and balance. The 2005 vintage is deeply structured, with a core of blackberries, cassis, and kirsch layered with liquorice, graphite, and wild herbs. Notes of garrigue and black pepper emerge with air, adding further complexity to the wine’s bold, concentrated profile. The tannins remain firm yet polished, supporting a long, expansive finish. Now entering its optimal drinking window, this is a formidable and age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Pape with remarkable depth and persistence.
