Lifted red and black fruits glide through the 2022 Clos de l'Oratoire, edged by graphite, cedar and a touch of wild herb, giving the wine both brightness and a serious, structured core. Medium to full in body, it feels sleek yet muscular, with fine, chalky tannins and a long, saline-tinged finish that keeps the dark plum and cherry flavors pulsing. The higher proportion of Cabernet Franc in this vintage adds real energy and backbone, making it one of the more vibrant and complete young Clos de l'Oratoire bottlings in recent years.

Clos de l’Oratoire is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé from the northeast slope of the appellation, a Merlot‑driven wine (with Cabernet Franc) grown on sandy clay and Fronsac molasse soils that give it a supple, opulent character. Typically deep in colour and richly fruited, it marries round, seductive texture with aromatic complexity and the structure to age, reflecting both its meticulous cellar work in oak vats and barrels and the refined, modern style of the von Neipperg stable.
