    The wine

    Prestige is a blend of black Grenache and Mourvèdre from nearly 100-year-old vines. Produced using organic and biodynamic cultivation methods, the wine is aged for one year in vats after the berries have been destemmed, punched down, pumped over and put into vats for 15 days. Its garnet colour with cherry tints introduces this mouth-watering wine. The nose reveals intense notes of black fruit, cinnamon and licorice. On the palette, the wine is dense and structured. The tannins are present but perfectly integrated and coated by the intensity of the fruit. Its persistence and its tannic structure allow divine pairings with a slow-cooked leg of lamb with flageolet beans, for example.

    Information about domain 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!
