Origin
In the ocean of vines surrounding the ruins of the Papal palace, rising up from the Galets stones, lie the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 'Clos de L'Oratoire' is a place of prayer built in the 18th century, now an improving wine estate.
Taste
An intense, perfumed and enticing array of sweet spices, brooding black fruits and sweet red cherries. Earthy, fruity, spicy and complex layers of flavour a marshalled by firm tannins into a long finish.
Enjoy
Secret this away for ten years or drink now as the youthful fruits and juicy sweetness with roast veal or filets mignons.

Staff Reviews

  • "This is a lot of wine for your money! Quite a modern style of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and extremely approachable in its youth. Ripe and rich on the nose, with aromas of cherries and blackcurrants intermingled with spices and a wonderful licorice kick! It delivers more of the same in the mouth, and the richness is supported by fantasticly integrated tannins. Snap up this bargain while you can."
