About

Domaine de l’Oratoire Saint-Martin covers 25 hectares located in the village of Cairanne only. Most of the vineyard is in the Northeast of the commune, at an altitude of 200 meters on steep hills in an area commonly called “the mountain” in the localities of Saint-Martin, Les Douyes and Coustias. The passion for wines, the estate’s history and unwavering commitment to the land motivates and inspires the family to make wines that are faithful to their origins and roots. From friends’ wines to high gastronomy wines, the knowledge and the variety of each of the grapes and soils allow the Domaine to produce a range of wine adapted to all the moments of sharing.

Terroir

The vineyard is located in the Southern Rhône valley, in the Cairanne appellation whose soils are very varied: these are soils ranging from the Plan de Dieu plain up to the upper hillsides of Cairanne. This cuvée comes from our old vines farmed organically and biodynamically located the uppermost hillsides, composed of clayish and highly calcareous soil.

Vinification

Direct pressing in pneumatic press, cold settling for 24 hours and fermenting in concrete vats, oak casks and eggs for 9 months. Wild yeasts. No malolactic fermentation. Maturing on fine lees until bottling to bring texture and complexity.

Tasting Notes

A gastronomy wine, "Haut-Coustias white" can be enjoyed young and grows in complexity after a few years. The nose shows acacia flower notes, while the mouth displays exotic fruits and pastry notes making it a wine of rare complexity.

Food Pairing

Ideally paired with scallops, pork rear flank or chopped parsley sautéed mushrooms.
