Description

While Clos de l’Oratoire is well known today, unlike numerous St. Emilion estates, the history of the property does not date all that far back. The vineyards of what we know of as Clos de l’Oratoire has been in use since the 1800s.

It was at one time part of the massive Peyreau estate. When that vineyard was split into separate parts around the time of the first St. Emilion classification, Clos de l’Oratoire came into being using the better terroirs from the previously larger vineyard.

In 1972, the vineyards of Clos de l’Oratoire and Peyreau were purchased by Joseph-Hubert, Graf von Neipperg, the father of the current owner, Stephan von Neipperg.

Tasting Notes

Clos de l’Oratoire is round, smooth, and very seductive. It has a beautiful deep crimson colour and powerful fruity aromas. Merlot provides roundness and opulence, whereas Cabernet Franc contributes power, aromatic complexity, and a long aftertaste. Although Clos de l’Oratoire can be enjoyed seven years after the vintage, it is, above all, a wine with fine ageing potential.

Food Pairing

Clos de l’Oratoire is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Clos de l’Oratoire is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
