Winery Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes

The name and label date back to the late 19th century: the history of Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes is traced to 1880. Over the course of the 20th century the bottle and image gained international recognition; today the estate and winemaking are managed by Maison Ogier, which has developed the project by enhancing the Prieuré and its underground cellars.

Practices focused on respecting the soil and the quality of the fruit: manual harvesting, parcel-by-parcel selection, increasing use of organic practices and a shift to locally produced natural fertilizers. In the winery, vinification prioritizes respect for the expression of the terroirs, with aging in concrete and wood depending on the cuvée.

Located at the gateway to the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the estate works with a mosaic of soils typical of the appellation: galets roulés, safres, limestone fragments, sands and red clays. The Prieuré, historically linked to the estate, houses the cellars and offers direct access to the surrounding vineyards.
