Description

This Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé has been owned by Stephan Von Neipperg (who also owns Châteaux la Mondotte and Canon la Gaffelière) since 1991. The vineyard extends over approximately 13 hectares and sits on Fronsac molasse soils, composed of a sandy sub-layer and clay sub-soil. Vinification takes place in wooden vats, as does maturation, which lasts for 15 to 20 months.

This château’s wines will charm you with their intense fruitiness, beautiful composition and accessibility.

Wine Advocate : “Aromas of cherries, dark chocolate, spices and violets introduce the 2023 Clos de l’Oratoire, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered wine that’s charming and harmonious on the attack, displaying a touch of youthfully grippy tannin on the finish. The blend contains 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.”
