Wine Advocate Review
Rated 91
The estate's special cuvee, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Choregies is a smoking blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah that spends 14 months in 80% new demi-muids and 20% in 300-liter barrels. It possesses a deep purple color to go with ripe, decadent notes of mulled dark fruits, wild herbs, roasted meats and hints of gaminess on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, balanced and textured, it has rock solid mid-palate depth and building tannin, all saying it will evolve nicely for over a decade. It's well worth checking out.
Wine Tasting Notes
Clos de L'Oratoire Des Papes Les Choregies Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits an astonishingly vibrant color, showcasing its predominantly Grenache composition.
The aroma is impressively intricate, featuring hints of cigar box, kirsch, licorice, black olive, and a subtle touch of scrubland herbs like thyme and laurel, which become more pronounced as the wine matures.
The Grenache grape lends the wine an exceptionally velvety texture, before its bold character takes center stage. A delicate tannic structure provides a smooth coating on the palate, while a touch of black pepper and chocolate perfectly complement the Grenache's softness. As the wine ages, it will develop an extraordinary complexity, revealing additional notes of scrubland herbs, chocolate, and truffle.
70% Grenache, 15% Syrah & 15% Mourvedre.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
