Domaine de l'Oratoire Saint-Martin
Most of the L'Oratoire Saint-Martin estate is located to the northeast of the commune of Cairanne, at an altitude of 200 meters, on steep hills in an area commonly referred to as "la montagne". These are steep hillsides, requiring the use of caterpillar tractors on the steepest slopes. The terroir is very stony, with yellow clay on the surface and blue clay at depth, and a high percentage of active limestone.
Everything is carefully thought out to ensure a high-quality harvest and a deep respect for the terroir. The L'Oratoire Saint-Martin estate is certified organic, and the vines are worked without pesticides, chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The soil is worked mechanically in its entirety on the old vines to bury organic compost (sheep manure) and encourage deep root development. The hand-picked grapes are first sorted by the pickers and then on a sorting table. Vinification takes place in open vats with punching down for the Cairanne and in closed vats with pumping over for the Côtes-du-Rhône. Maturation takes place in vats, demi-muids or foudres.

This white Cairanne expresses freshness with floral and citrus aromas. A delicate wine, with fine minerality and a refreshing finish of white-fleshed fruit. This blend of 4 Rhone grape varieties is a fine representation of Rhone Valley whites.

"Although still extremely young, this wine shows a ton of fresh melon, white peach and wild herb aromas. Lots of tension and structure for this appellation, the finish is long with an intense wet stone character." (James Suckling 2022) In its white version, Cru Cairanne Haut Coustias, is a pure southern product blended from Marsanne, Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache blanc. Lots of elegance!

91/100 James Suckling
"This is a juicy wine with aromas of black fruits and spices. The Mourvèdre makes its mark on this cuvée. It's a fleshy, full-bodied wine, with sappy tannins. Less austerity than the Réserve des seigneurs". (Le Guide RVF 2022) From old, co-planted Mourvèdre and Grenache noirs vines.

Mostly Syrah, delivering ripe fruit tinged with spice, pepper and nutmeg. In a Mediterranean spirit, the palate carries us away to notes of roasting in a burst of greediness. Strength and tenderness characterize this charming cuvée. A sure bet!

In its white version, Cru Cairanne Haut Coustias is a pure southern product blended from Marsanne, Roussane, Clairette and Grenache blanc. On the nose, it has a lovely aromatic intensity, with citrus and white flower aromas. The palate is fat and long, revealing lovely toasted almond flavors, with great elegance and freshness.

3.7/5 (7 reviews)
89/100 RVF
"A definition that contrasts well between the ripeness of the roussanne and the mineral limpidity that the marsanne-clairette duo can reveal on the palate. A lovely white for immediate pleasure, with good body and harmony. No softness on the palate. (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF)
Domaine de l'Oratoire Saint-Martin - Réserve des Seigneurs blanc 2019
4/5 (8 reviews)
90/100 RVF
"A pretty, southern-style nose, with nuances of white flowers and fennel, quite greedy fruit and good depth. The palate is quite broad, with a full heart, but positive bitters arrive at just the right moment to deliver relief and persistence, as well as a hint of carbonic. A touch of candied lemon finishes off the flavors." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

90/100 RVF
"I tasted what Frédéric Alary described as "the heart of the blend" on foudre before any sulfur was added, a blend of 40% Mourvèdre and 30% each Grenache and Syrah. Rich and concentrated, the 2018 Cairanne Réserve des Seigneurs is full-bodied, ripe, supple and long, with notes of violet and purple raspberry. Despite the challenges of the vintage, it looks like another success from this quality-conscious domaine." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Joe Czerwinski) A pleasure cuvée filled with generosity!
Domaine de l'Oratoire Saint-Martin - Les Douyes 2017 (Magnum)

90/100 RVF
"Still in foudre during my visit, Les Douyes 2017 is in barrel for at least 18 months. This blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, from the estate's oldest vines, is produced from tiny yields, just 15 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is full-bodied, creamy-textured, with intense flavors of licorice, black cherry and plum. Incredibly good "out of the box", this wine is easily one of the best Cairanne's I've ever tasted, with at least 15 years of aging ahead of it." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Joe Czerwinski)
