Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a flagship wine of Maison Ogier, sourced from one of the appellation’s most historic and emblematic vineyards. The wine is typically dominated by Grenache, complemented by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and small proportions of other traditional Rhône varieties, reflecting the classic blend of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The vineyard is characterized by a diverse mix of soils, including rolled galets, sandy layers, and limestone, which contribute to both power and balance. Vinification is carried out with care and restraint, focusing on controlled extraction and aging in a combination of oak barrels and larger vessels to preserve fruit purity and terroir expression.

Aromatically, the wine offers ripe red and black fruits, plum, spice, and subtle notes of garrigue and dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet refined, with polished tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, expressive finish.

The style combines the generosity typical of the Southern Rhône with clarity and elegance. Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes is well suited for aging and gains complexity over time, while remaining approachable when young with proper aeration.
