Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes
The Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes is an icon of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a name that evokes more than a century of history and winemaking passion. Born in 1880 thanks to the vision of Édouard Amouroux, this wine has kept its distinctive label depicting the papal cross and grape clusters, symbolizing authenticity and a connection to tradition. The vineyards stretch over exceptionally prized terroirs: the famous galets roulés, fine sands, and red clays rich in minerals, capable of providing the grapes with optimal ripening and a unique aromatic complexity.
The classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault is vinified separately to respect the identity of each grape variety, before aging in oak barrels and concrete vats that harmonize power and elegance. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and notes of Provençal herbs, while the palate stands out for its full-bodied structure, silky tannins, and a long, enveloping finish. It is a wine that is immediately seductive but reaches extraordinary heights after a few years in the cellar.
Perfect with game, beef roasts, spicy dishes, or aged cheeses, the Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes is the ideal choice for those seeking a red wine of great character and longevity. Discovering it on Vino45 means gifting yourself an authentic sensory experience in the heart of the Rhône Valley, where tradition and winemaking art blend into a glass of pure excellence.
