Clos de L’Oratoire des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape (2023) – A composed, thoughtfully built Châteauneuf-du-Pape shaped by old vines and careful blending. Rather than sheer power, Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes emphasizes harmony, layering dark cherry, blackberry, garrigue, and warm spice over a polished structural core. Generous without feeling heavy, the wine shows clarity and restraint alongside its natural richness. Drinkable now with air, but structured enough to reward short- to mid-term cellaring.
