This \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e is created from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault grapes, which provide a full and well-structured profile. On the nose, it is decidedly expressive, releasing clear aromas of black fruits, notably blackberry and raspberry, enriched by hints of chocolate and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it offers a fresh entry, led by a pleasant and \u003cstrong\u003epronounced minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that merges with silky tannins, finishing with a long, spicy aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteauneuf-du-Pape\u003c\/strong\u003e is the birthplace of this red, originating from a vineyard named Clos de l’Oratoire des Papes since 1926.

The soils feature \u003cstrong\u003eterraces of siliceous pebbles\u003c\/strong\u003e mixed with red clay, alternating with limestone valley areas, characteristics that impart the typical structural finesse.

Subsequently, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and vats, acquiring balance and concentration. This ageing process shapes a vigorous body, ideal for accompanying dishes based on beef, lamb and game, especially after decanting for an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1880, the company takes its name from a small eighteenth-century oratory dedicated to Saint Mark.
