Chateauneuf du Pape Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes

Ogier's Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes is a traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape built on a Grenache foundation (80%), with supporting Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. The 2021 vintage delivers a medium-full-bodied red with bright red-fruit primary notes—cherry and plum—layered with black pepper spice and dried garrigue herbs characteristic of the southern Rhône. Moderate tannins and balanced acidity provide structure without heaviness, while subtle oak integration and emerging earthy minerality suggest food-friendly complexity. A versatile expression suited to grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, and tomato-based preparations.
