Steeped red and black currant fruit mingles with tobacco, worn cedar and savory earth, with a streak of warm cast iron. Rich, medium-to-full bodied and seamless on the palate: gorgeous, glossy tannins with no hard edges, a layered mid-palate and a long, polished finish. A generous, seductive Saint-Émilion that drinks beautifully now but has the stuffing for 5-8 years in the cellar, through the late 2020s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: The 2019 blends roughly 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc from the estate’s 4-hectare clay-limestone slope on Saint-Émilion’s famed east-facing côte, tended along biodynamic lines. Hand-harvested, gently extracted and aged in French oak to emphasize the silken Merlot texture that defines the house style. The warm 2019 vintage gave generous, structured wines on the right bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent with duck breast, roast lamb, beef tenderloin, truffle dishes, and soft-ripened or aged sheep’s milk cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinery Story\u003c\/b\u003e: Clos de l’Oratoire is a Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion in the hands of Stephan von Neipperg, whose portfolio (Canon-La-Gaffelière, La Mondotte) sets the standard for the appellation’s modern renaissance. Since 1991 the Neipperg touch has made this small, slope-hugging estate a quiet source of some of Saint-Émilion’s most seductive reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Monsieur Touton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50390415835393,"sku":"CLOSDELORATOIRE","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/clos-de-l-oratoire-2019.jpg?v=1790330384","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/clos-de-loratoire-saint-emilion-grand-cru-classe-2019","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
