2017 Cote Rotie, La Mordoree, Chapoutier (6 x Bottle)
Always a blend of Côte Brune and Côte Blonde, the 2017 Cote Rotie la Mordorée is a stunning example of this cuvée. Pencil shavings frame raspberry and blueberries on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and concentrated, richly tannic but fully ripe, with licorice notes coming to the fore on the long, velvety finish. Super stuff.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
A blend of Côte Blonde and Côte Brune (the actual lieux-dits), the 2017 Cote Rotie la Mordorée is a top-notch example of this cuvée. The Chapoutier team now picks and vinifies the parcels separately, which has allowed them to fine-tune the picking dates. It boasts an exciting mélange of berry fruit flavors, is silky and medium to full-bodied in the mouth and finishes long.

Vinous
Opaque ruby. Seductively perfumed dark berry liqueur, violet pastille, smoky mineral and exotic spice aromas show excellent clarity and mineral lift. Offers alluringly sweet, palate-staining black raspberry, cherry preserve and floral flavors that are lifted and sharpened by a spine of juicy acidity. Rich but energetic as well, finishing with firm thrust and cut on a strikingly long finish that features sneaky tannins and building floral and spice qualities.

Vinous
Deep, dark ruby. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, licorice and pungent flowers, and a smoky mineral nuance builds with aeration. Velvety and seamless on the palate, offering intense black and blue fruit liqueur, salty olive, candied violet and exotic spice flavors sharpened by juicy acidity and a cracked pepper flourish. Hangs on with impressive tenacity on the floral- and mineral-accented finish, which leaves star anise and cola notes behind. 60% of this fruit comes from the Côte Brune and 40% is drawn from the Côte Blonde.
