Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes, Châteauneuf du Pape, AOC, dry, red

The Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes is made from a 27-hectares vineyard that boasts a perfect balance between Chateauneuf-du-Pape’s three great soil types: the “Galets Roulés” or rounded pebbles, “Safres” or fine sand and “Eclats Calcaires” (limestone rock). In 1926 the vineyard becomes the Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes and gains a label design that has remained unchanged ever since.
