					<description><![CDATA[Clos de l’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).

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 l’Oratoire can be enjoyed seven years after the vintage, it is, above all, a wine with fine ageing potential.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc

Alcohol 14.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep garnet-purple color.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The 2018 Clos de l&#8217;Oratoire sports a nose of plum preserves, chocolate-covered cherries and mulberries, plus hints of candied violet, licorice and Sichuan pepper.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with juicy black fruits plus loads of exotic spice and earthy accents, supported by very ripe, soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.</p>

Saint-Émilion goes really well with beef dishes such as braised beef, beef burger with cheddar and bacon or with mushroom.</p>
