Close to the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in a natural, protected space, lies an ancient priory; an exceptional site that houses semi-troglodyte vat rooms and barrel cellars, and the reception rooms of L’Oratoire des Papes.
Its history goes back to 1880, when Léonce Amouroux inherited a parcel of vines on which there was an oratory dedicated to Saint Marc, the patron saint of the winemakers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It was this oratory that was the inspiration for the famous name that has for almost 150 years embodied the timeless alliance of prestige and pleasure that has made it renowned around the world. Inspired by the Art Deco design that has adorned its labels since 1926, L’Oratoire des Papes is the incarnation of the spirit of this epoch when art and innovation came together to invent the future.
Here, heritage is in perpetual construction, and progress is constant. In proposing a contemporary interpretation of the 4 terroirs of the appellation, in adapting tradition and taking inspiration from elsewhere, L’Oratoire des Papes offers a faithful reflection of the soul of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in wines that are eloquent, unexpectedly fresh, and full of finesse.
