Description
Clos De L’Oratoire Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2012 750 ML
Clos de l Oratoire is round, smooth, and very seductive. It has a beautiful deep crimson colour and powerful fruity aromas. Merlot provides roundness and opulence, whereas Cabernet Franc contributes power, aromatic complexity, and a long aftertaste. Although Clos de la Oratoire can be enjoyed seven years after the vintage, it is, above all, a wine with fine ageing potential Clos dela Oratoire, located on Saint-Emilion’s northeast slope, has 13 hectares of vines. The terroir of Fronsac molasse, consisting of a layer of sandy soil and a clay subsoil, is ideally suited to Merlot (80% of the vines).
