Domaine de l'Oratoire Saint Martin

Domaine de l’Oratoire Saint-Martin is one of the oldest family-owned estates in France and has been passed down from father to son for ten generations since 1692! L'Oratoire is a small chapel that stands in the lieu-dit Saint-Martin in the middle of the vineyards.

This traditional domaine, run by Alary brothers, follows the principles of biodynamic agriculture in the entire vineyards (25 ha). At an altitude of 200 m, the soils are rocky with a great percentage of two types of clay (yellow and blue deeper down). Most of the vines are over 45 years old and some are reaching their 100s.

The wines of the estate are nowadays the best ambassadors of Cairanne in the world. They are precise, elegant, with a strong personality showing the pure expression of this unique place in Southern Rhône Valley.
