Oratoire St. Martin 2019 Cairanne Les Douyes

The 2019 "Les Douyes" is from 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre planted in 1905 (!) on limestone soils, the old vines giving very low yields of 15 - 20 hl/ha. This is a unique and profound Rhone red at an amazing price! (Formerly called "Cuvée Prestige" and sold by our friends at Louis/Dressner). "Here's the Drink Rhone review "attractive dark red robe; the bouquet has style in its red fruits, is discreetly sprinkled with herbes de Provence, gives the opening good tuning. The palate on cue offers a stylish glass, the fruit and balance right in order, the precision and Burgundian tone to it very winning. It’s a highly elegant, silky, lovely Cairanne, deserves being swirled in a large balloon glass. The tannins are finely powdered, and it’s a singing wine in the making." Enjoy until 2040!
