Clos de L'Oratoire

In 1960, when Château Peyreau was divided, Michel Boutet, the owner of the vineyard, decided to group his best plots under the name Clos de L'Oratoire, in order to obtain their classification as Grand Cru de Saint-Émilion . Given the quality of the wine produced and the richness of its terroir, this was quickly achieved for the very young Clos de L'Oratoire. The two properties were bought in 1991 by Count Stephan Von Neipperg , owner of several renowned estates in the Bordeaux region. He expanded the vineyard to 13 hectares and applied meticulous and qualitative work to the vines: Clos de L'Oratoire renewed its Grand Cru Classé status in 2012. The vineyard is mainly composed of 90% Merlot, accompanied by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
