2 x Ogier Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Rouge, Chateauneuf du Pape AOC 2017 (France)

Certified organic

Intense ruby robe with beautiful reflections of old rose petals. Frank and spicy with black pepper and licorice, surprising floral notes of grass and acacia, evolving onto more classic notes of strawberry, cherry and fresh blackcurrant, and subtle notes of camphor and menthol. The attack is frank and ample, reflecting the gourmand and delicate characteristics of the Estate and magnificently held by fine tannins with a silky length, strengthened by the freshness of the menthol and scents of the garriques.

Seven generations of vigneron have tended to the Clos de l'Oratoire vineyard since planting in 1780. The label has remained unchanged since the original design of 1926 by the Amouroux family. Respecting the traditions rooted here is fundamental to the Ogier philosophy.

The vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape are filled with what the French call 'Galets', huge stones that are scattered in and amongst the vines, which retain the heat of the day and radiate it to the vines during the night. Think of them like hot water bottles for vines to keep them warm at night!

Of the 13 grape varieties approved for use in Chateauneuf-du-Pape red wines, four are Organically grown and used to make up the Clos de l'Oratoire blend: Grenache (80%), and the balance in Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault.
