M. Chapoutier Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée Rouge 2017
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Tain-l’Hermitage, Northern Rhône, the Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée Rouge 2017 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 a deep red hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and floral finesse, showcasing Côte-Rôtie’s terroir.
The nose reveals raspberry, black cherry, and violet, with hints of black olive, rosemary, and spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of mixed berries, herbs, and a long, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2017 Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée Rouge earned 95 points from Decanter for its bright, floral fruit and finesse. Jeb Dunnuck awarded 94–96 points for its concentrated, silky texture.
