Domaine de la Mordorée – Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape La Reine des Bois 2013
La Reine des Bois 2013 shows how underrated this vintage can be. In the glass, the wine has a ruby red color and an expressive nose filled with garrigue, herbs and rosemary.
On the palate, there is still fresh acidity that lifts the wine, paired with blackberries, black currant and licorice. It remains full‑bodied yet moves with elegance, showing ripe but smooth tannins.
The cuvée is mainly Grenache (75%) with other traditional varieties adding complexity. Even though 2013 isn’t a hyped year like 2016 or 2019, it absolutely deserves recognition — wines like this prove it.
Cheers!
