In a few words ...
Created in 1880, Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes is a legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine. The story begins when Edouard Amouroux, through his marriage, receives the famous parcel of Syrah vines located in the Tresquoy area. The property owes its name to the Oratory dedicated to Saint-Marc that stands on the edge of the plot. The high quality of this terroir quickly enabled this wine to become a benchmark for the appellation. About the 2017 vintage: "Lovely fruit, velvety, greedy and balanced" (Bettane et Desseauve)
Un Châteauneuf mythique
Tasting notes
Appearance
The color is typical of the vintage, with Grenache noir showing little color. The 8% Syrah in the blend brings bluish hues that support this light but frank color.
Aroma
The nose fully expresses the aromas of its youth, burlat cherry, fig, but also sweet spices such as nutmeg and more complex notes (cocoa, morello cherry).
Wine Fruity | Soft | Spicy
Taste
The palate is all delicacy, with perfectly integrated silky tannins, no hardness or roughness, everything is coated. This vintage is fresh on the palate.
Wine Aromatique | Fruité | Fumé | Rond | Tannique

Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison Ogier and its 2 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
