Rezensionen & Bewertungen
96 James Suckling
The aromas are very decadent with white truffle, dark berries and wet earth. Dense raspberries. Full-bodied, it grows on the palate with fantastic chewy tannins that are polished and intense. Like a beautifully formed wave in texture. Try in 2022.

The 2016 Clos de l'Oratoire is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc that was picked between 10-17 October and matured in 45% new oak. It has a fresh, perfumed and floral bouquet, with pressed rose petals infusing the red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. There is a sense of airiness here that I like. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly grainy tannin, hints of tobacco and leather complementing the black fruit with a welcome soupçon of austerity towards the masculine finish. Excellent.

Fresh, bright and engaging, with damson plum, raspberry and cherry pâte de fruit notes bouncing along, laced with red licorice details and backed by a light Black Forest cake accent on the juicy finish. This seems like it's all fruit but the lovely cut and floral persistence through the finish imparts an elegant hint. Drink now through 2033. 5,833 cases made. — JM

Clos de l'Oratoire
Ein Saint-Émilion-Château im Besitz und unter der Leitung des dynamischen und inspirierenden Stephan von Neipperg. Das Anwesen wurde ursprünglich 1972 von seinem Vater erworben, Joseph-Hubert, Graf von Neipperg. Die 10 Hektar Reben wachsen auf Fronsac-Melasseboden mit einem Unterboden aus Sand und Lehm, einem idealen Terroir für Merlot (90%). Daneben werden kleinere Mengen Cabernet Sauvignon und Cabernet Franc angebaut. Wie auf den anderen Neipperg-Gütern wird hier nachhaltiger Weinbau mit biodynamischen Elementen praktiziert, um die den Trauben innewohnenden Eigenschaften zu bewahren. Der Clos de l'Oratoire ist ein opulenter Wein, jedoch mit erkennbarer Grundstruktur, und benötigt in der Regel mehrere Jahre Flaschenreife.
