Ogier Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2015
From the historic Maison Ogier in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, the Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes 2015 is a vibrant red blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, and 5% Cinsault. Sourced from 50-year-old vines on galet-covered clay-limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged 12 months in foudres and concrete vats, offering a deep ruby hue with rich complexity.
