Biodynamic. The limestone soils of Cairanne make it a wonderful appellation for whites, while the elevation and Oratoire’s meticulously managed old vines produce yields of only 25 hl/ha on average. In this wine, the Domaine’s low-input, precise winemaking plays its part, although the intense energy and vibrant mineral freshness can only be attributed to the vineyards and the work within them. The 2021 is a blend of 30% Clairette (planted in 1935), Grenache Blanc and Gris (also from the 1930s) and co-planted Roussanne and Marsanne from a beautiful old plot surrounded by pine trees (established in 1982). The fruit was fermented without additions and raised in the Domaine’s old concrete tanks.
