Clos de L`Oratoire des Papes was originally founded in 1926 by Léonce Amouroux, who named it after the nearby Oratory of the Popes, a former papal palace. The estate is currently owned by the Ogier winemaking family, who also own several other estates in the Rhône Valley. Clos de L`Oratoire des Papes is one of the most highly regarded estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and its wines are consistently awarded high ratings by critics. The 2005 vintage is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and Cinsault, aged for 12 months in foudres. Only 100,000 bottles were produced.

Vinous
Youthful purple. Spicy cherry and cassis on the nose, with suave licorice, tobacco and floral qualities adding complexity. Spicy red fruit flavors are medium in weight and gently chewy, finishing with good spicy lift and persistence. Picks up some firm tannins with air but there's plenty of vivid, sweet balancing fruit.Josh Raynolds1st January 2008
