The vineyards of what we know as Clos de l'Oratoire have been in use since the 1800s.
It was once part of the huge Peyreau estate. When this vineyard was divided into several parts at the time of the first classification of Saint-Émilion, Château Clos de l'Oratoire was created using the best terroirs.
In 1972, the Clos de l'Oratoire and Peyreau vineyards were purchased by Joseph-Hubert Graf Von Neipperg, the father of the current owner, Stephan Von Neipperg.
Le Clos de l'Oratoire, located on the north-eastern hillside of Saint-Emilion, covers an area of some 13 hectares. Its Fronsac molasse terroir is made up of a sandy subsoil and a clay subsoil.
Nose of black fruits, spherical and clean mouth, good length.
