Cairanne lavet på biodynamisk dyrkede druer på en mark beplantet i 1905 med 60 % Grenache og 40 % Mourvèdre. Lagret 18 mdr. på store fade og flasket uden klaring eller filtrering.
Meget koncentreret duft med elementer af kirsch, lakrids og garrigue - sydfranske, vilde krydderurter. Smagen er fyldig og koncentreret og holdt i en elegant, kølig og saftig stil med god frugtighed balanceret af flot mineralitet og fint tanninbid.
Domaine l'Oratoire Saint Martin drives af Alary-brødrene Frederic og Francois. De dyrker deres vin biodynamisk og er Demeter-certificerede. De tilsætter aldrig gær, men bruger udelukkende druernes egne gærstammer. Ingen klaring eller filtrering og kun en lille smule svovl ved flaskning.
Deres vine er blandt de allerbedste i Cairanne og konkurrerer nemt med fx Chateauneuf-vine til den dobbelte pris. Ejendommen regnes af vinskribenter generelt som reference for appellationen.
Deres marker er beliggende i den bedste og stejleste del af Cairanne kaldet St. Martin.

"This is one of the most highly respected estates in the southern Rhone. Almost every insider speaks of Oratoire St. Martin, as an example of a perfectly managed, impeccably manicured vineyard as well as meticulous winemaking," Robert Parker.
Top Biodynamisk ejendom i Cairanne. Rødvinene er mere vinøse, ranke og elegante i stilen end generelt for det sydlige Rhône – en lidt akademisk Rhône-stil, der passer til vinmageren.»Det drejer sig om at bevare friskheden i vinene« siger Francois Alary!

Still in foudre at the time of my visit, the 2017 Cairanne les Douyes was expected to be in cask for at least 18 months. A 60-40 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from the estate's oldest vines, and produced from minuscule yields of just 15 hectoliters per hectare, it's full-bodied and creamy-textured, with intense flavors of licorice, black cherries and plum. It's out-of-this-world good and easily one of the best Cairannes I've ever tasted, with at least 15 years of ageability.

Easily the equal of many wines from more illustrious appellations, the 2015 Cairanne les Douyes is a blend of old-vine Grenache (60%) and Mourvèdre (40%) that spent 18 months in foudre prior to bottling. Yields were a ridiculously low 15 hectoliters per hectare. Intense but still only medium to full-bodied, this is richly tannic and silky at the same time, boasting flavors of cola, raspberries and spice that linger elegantly on the finish.

Forrygende Cairanne i elegant stil med rustik næse med let støvet præg og koncentreret mund holdt i kølig stil med mineralsk strejf og let herbalt præg tilsat noter af hvid peber i den lange eftersmag. Flot vin.

Tæt, næsten sort og kompakt, med sveskenæse og blommesmag og især med et forrygende stilskift fra tørre, potente svesker til yndefulde, parfumerede blommer. Den har mineraler og krydderier, der er gods i glasset, hele...
Tæt, næsten sort og kompakt, med sveskenæse og blommesmag og især med et forrygende stilskift fra tørre, potente svesker til yndefulde, parfumerede blommer. Den har mineraler og krydderier, der er gods i glasset, hele tiden domineret af de parfumerede blommer. Den strutter af saft, muskler og veloplagthed. En stor personlighed, men slet ikke moden endnu, så gem den i 5-10 år.

While at the same quality level as the 2013, the 2012 Cairanne les Douyes is a more classic southern Rhone with its rounded, medium to full-bodied, spicy personality. Licorice, lots of meatiness, violets and Bing cherry all give way to a Provencal, mouth-filling Cairanne that has plenty of fruit and great finish. I’d happily drink bottles over the coming 5-6 years.

Brilliant ruby. Smoke-accented aromas of fresh dark fruits, licorice and garrigue, given lift and spice by a peppery nuance. Fleshy and broad but lively as well, offering bitter cherry and blueberry flavors that turn spicier with air. Rich and palate-coating, finishing with strong thrust and slow-building tannins.
