iodynamic. A punchy Côtes du Rhône, this is taken from Oratoire’s younger vines, which mostly lie just 300 metres from the commune of Rasteau. The 2020 blend is roughly spilt between Grenache and Syrah, with small amounts of Counoise and Vaccarèse. This packs a serious punch for the money—touchstone Côtes du Rhône here. Despite the younger vine source, fruit is still harvested at the domaine’s signature low levels, meaning Oratoire consistently knocks it out of the park with this wine.
