In this wine, the domaine’s low-input, precise winemaking plays its part, although the intense energy and vibrant mineral freshness can only be attributed to the vineyards and the work within them. The 2021 is a blend of 30% Clairette (planted in 1935), Grenache Blanc and Gris (also from the 1930s) and co-planted Roussanne and Marsanne from a beautiful old plot surrounded by pine trees (established in 1982). The fruit was fermented without additions and raised in the domaine’s old concrete tanks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a cracking, textural and mouth-watering white Rh?ne. You get the intensity and concentration from the low yields alongside wonderful perky freshness. The palate is layered and punchy, with detailed flavours of preserved lemon, fennel seed and verbena, before a long, chalky finish—it’s engaging and packed full of complexity and interest. Simply decant and add roast chicken.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This is possibly the best domaine in the entire C?tes du Rh?ne-Villages area.  The wines are full, intense and concentrated, surprisingly sophisticated.  At less than half the price of a top Ch?teauneuf this Domaine offers splendid value for money.” \u003cstrong\u003eClive Coats MW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eThe vineyards of Oratoire Saint Martin are hand tended and managed organically with biodynamic preparations.
