M. Chapoutier Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée Rouge 2006
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée Rouge 2006 is a refined Syrah from 60-year-old vines on mica-schist soils in Côte Blonde and Côte Brune. Hand-harvested from organic and biodynamic vineyards, it’s aged 14–18 months in oak casks (25% new), offering an inky purple hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and savory finesse, showcasing Côte-Rôtie’s terroir.
The nose reveals black raspberry, cherry, and black olive, with hints of licorice, graphite, roasted meat, and tapenade. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and seamless, with dense tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of black fruit, spice, and a long, rich finish.

Food Pairings
