Cairanne Réserve des Seigneurs Oratoire Saint-Martin - Frédéric et François Alary 2020

The wine

Grown using organic principles on a clay and limestone soil, Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache blanc were vinified and aged in vats (eight months). This allowed the wine to preserve the freshness of its fruity notes. In the tasting, we find an aromatic, flowery bouquet with flavours of pear and exotic fruits. This delicacy means it can be paired with equally impressive dishes like fish.

About the Producer Oratoire Saint-Martin

Frédéric and François Alary have been in charge of Domaine de l’Oratoire Daint-Martin since 1984 and represent the 10th generation of winemakers at the head of this vineyard! The great majority of this domaine is located to the north east of the Cairanne commune at around 200 metres altitude on a steep hill in an area known locally as “the mountain”. The domaine is certified biodynamic, yields are low and grapes are picked at optimum maturity. Elevage takes place in concrete vats, demi-muids or foudres. This producer is regarded as one of the best in Cairanne (along with domaine Richaud) and deserves its reputation as a reference!
