ClosdeL’OratoireLesChorégiesChâteauneuf-du-pape75cl

Ogier Clos de L’Oratoire des Papes Les Chorégies Châteauneuf-du-pape is an old vine cuvée, based mostly on Grenache Noir, with some Mourvèdre and Syrah. It comes from 4 exceptional micro-terroirs: Lagrande in La Crau, Pignan, Saintes-Vierges and La Bigote. Soils are a mix of the famous galets roulets (heat-retaining, large, round stones) and sand. The wine grapes were left as whole bunches for vinification, and the wine is then aged solely in 18.7 HL French oak tuns for 12 months – they claim to be the only producer in Châteauneuf-du-pape using this vessel type. It was aged a further 8 months in concrete vat before resting 30 months in bottle before release.
