Domaine de l'Oratore Saint-Martin cultivates 20 ha of red and 5 ha of white, red grapes including Grenache 55%, Mouvèdre 30%, Syrah 10%, Vaccarèse 3% and Counoise 2%. The 25 ha estate is now run by Frédéric and Francois, pére et fils. Most of their vines are in the steepest sector of Carianne, the quartier Saint-Martin, the soils of which are clay-limestone mixed with stones and sand. Several red cuvees are made among which we prefer the Carianne Réserve de Seigneurs, made from 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvédre and 10% Syrah. Un vin aux tannins noble, des arômes de cassis et de pruneaux, où se mêlent la réglisse et le laurier.

The domaine’s flagship is, however, the Cuvée Prestige made from pre - First World War Grenache (60%) and Mouvédre (40%), des rendements très faibles (18 hl/ha), vendage manuelle, tri des raisins, éraflage, vinification par pigeage pendent 15 jours, followed by 12 mois en cuve et mise en bouteille sans collage ni filtration.
