Description

The wine is sustained with bluish reflections. The first nose develops on a mixture of black cherries, juniper berries, pepper and sweet spices. Allowed to breathe, notes of crushed raspberries, cherries, chocolate and finally a scent of dried herbs reminiscent of the garrigue in summer emerges. In its youth, red fruits and black fruits dominate in the mouth and are associated with powerful notes of liquorice and pepper. The velvet tannins are nonetheless present and accompany the entire tasting.

Winemaking

The grapes are partly vinified in whole bunches and the crushing is partial according to the grape varieties, the plots and the level of maturity. Some of the Syrah and Cinsault are in cold pre-fermentation (8°C) for 4 days. The other grape varieties are put in vats and the fermentation takes place between 22°C and 24°C to have a slow fermentation favoring varietal and aromatic extraction over tannic extraction. The extraction was done mainly by small fractional pumping over which favors the extraction of the softest tannins.

Aging

Aging takes place for 12 months in tapered French oak vats.

Food Pairing

The Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes red 2019 will go perfectly with a 7-hour lamb or a leg of venison with mustard drizzled with white wine while cooking in the oven.

Serving

The red Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes should be enjoyed between 15°C and 16°C. In its prime, between 2 and 3 years, we recommend decanting the wine for a few hours in a carafe or opening the bottle 12 hours before tasting with an adjustment of the level at the shoulder of the bottle (serve a 5cl glass approximately).
