Historia de la bodega
Ubicado en Cairanne, en el sur del Valle del Ródano, Domaine de l’Oratoire Saint-Martin** ha sido gestionado por la misma familia durante más de 300 años. Este vino alcanzó un estatus de culto en Francia después de que Olivier Poussier (Mejor Sumiller del Mundo 2000 y especialista en el Ródano de La Revue du Vin de France) comparara su calidad con la de un Hermitage blanco.
Terruño
Haut Coustias is a selection from the Estate’s oldest, lowest-yielding white vines, which mostly face east in the chalkiest, coolest part of Oratoire’s La Montagne terroirs (the name given to the steepest area of Cairanne). The average age of the vines is 75 years, and these venerable plants produce a tiny 20 hl/ha on average. Each variety was harvested and vinified separately in concrete eggs before blending.
Notas de cata
This is layered, complex and confidently full-bodied in the best spirit of this benchmark wine. Opening with a hint of reduction, the palate is long and tongue-coating, and embedded with deep citrus, aniseed and sweet herbal flavors. The finish is powerful and long, underpinned by a nip of food-friendly phenolics. There is so much going on; you want to pour it into a decanter and see it evolve as you contemplate the bottle.
