The 2022 L’Oratoire Saint Jean d’Aureilhan hails from the Coteaux du Salagou region in the Languedoc, revealing a red blend crafted from Mourvedre, Syrah and Sangiovese. This vintage offers a textured experience, characterised by earthy undertones and mineral nuances, complemented by a structure that suggests ageing potential. The palate unfolds with dark fruit elements, balanced by a subtle spiciness. Franck Soulayrol, the founder, began cultivating the estate’s six hectares of organically farmed vines in 2021, drawing upon his experience at La Grange des Pères and Denis Mortet to refine this emerging profile in Languedoc wines.
