VINUM: "Rubinrot leuchtend; im Duft fast schon burgundisch anmutend, feinwürzig, mit strahlender Frucht, subtile Röstnoten, Kirschen, Johannisbeeren; gradlinig am Gaumen, markante Gerbstoffe umgarnen die Frucht, der Wein zeigt Rasse und Struktur, frisch und pfefferwürzig im Abgang. Ein äusserst eleganter Clos de l'Oratoire, für die mittlere Reife gebaut."

ANSON: "Black cherry puree on the opening, fresh pomegranate and orange peel, oyster shell salinity comes in pretty strongly halfway through. Great quality, with lift and falls on the right side of austere. Harvest 24 September to 8 October. 40 hl/ha. 25% new oak, 14ha of vines, limestone plateau plus clay limestone slopes."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Blackberries, darker cherries, sappy herbs, violets, and spicy wood notes all shine in the 2024 Clos De L'Oratoire, a medium-bodied, pure, focused, juicy Saint-Émilion that has a terrific sense of minerality on the finish. It plays in the medium-bodied, fresh style of the vintage yet is charming, balanced, and incredibly well made."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Chocolaty plums, flowers, tobacco, and red pit fruits fill the nose. Medium-bodied, elegant, and fresh, on the palate, the wine focuses on its core of vibrant, red berries, sweetness, and lift on the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine blends 80% Merlot, with 20% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV. Drink from 2027-2038."
