The 2021 Clos de l'Oratoire was picked October 1–13. This is just missing a bit of vigor and presence on the nose compared to the Canon-la-Gaffelière. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, nice balance and neatly integrated oak, though it lacks a bit of flair on the finish. Still, it should give 10–12 years of pleasure.
