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: rocky, clayish or calcareous soils. This cuvée is the product of our old vines situated on the middle and lower hillsides farmed organically and biodynamically.

Vinification

Direct pressing with pneumatic press, cold settling for 24 hours then fermentation and ageing in concrete vats. Wild yeasts. No malolactic fermentation, bottling is done after six months.

Tasting Notes

Subtle and complex terroir driven wine, which can be appreciated young. The nose shows white flowers and citrus notes, while the mouth displays delicate and crisp with a beautiful minerality and a refreshing white-fleshed fruit finish.

Food Pairing

Ideally paired with soft goat cheese, a langoustine carpaccio in citrus sauce or a coarse salt roasted sea bass.

Appellation

Carianne

Sizes Available

750 ML
