L’Oratoire des Papes的歷史可以追溯到 1880 年，當時Edouard Amouroux透過婚姻獲得了位於南隆河的美麗葡萄園。酒莊的名字來自附近的小教堂，這座小教堂紀念聖馬克（Saint-Marc）。祂是釀酒師的守護神，同時保護葡萄藤免受惡劣天氣侵害。
L’Oratoire des Papes不只憑品質而享譽全球，其酒標亦深受葡萄酒愛好者和收藏家的喜愛。它融合了Art Deco的設計美學，具有強烈的教皇和聖馬克（Saint-Marc）的象徵。

中至深的石榴紅色，帶有紫色色調。細緻的香氣融合了生肉、灌木叢、甜李子、櫻桃酒和成熟的紅莓味。良好的密度和重量，細膩的單寧、豐富的紅果、皮革和野生草本香料。細膩的層次之間比例均衡，餘韻溫暖而悠長。
The history of L’Oratoire des Papes dates back to the year 1880, when Edouard Amouroux was bequeathed by marriage a beautiful vine parcel. The estate took its name from the small chapel located in their Southern Rhone Valley vineyards. This small chapel was dedicated to Saint-Marc, patron saint of winemakers and protector of the vine against bad weather.
The estate is recognized worldwide for its quality and its 'handmade' label which was designed during the Art Deco artistic movement. The label features strong symbols of the Pope and the image of Saint-Marc. It is well known throughout the world by wine lovers and collectors alike.

(Andreas Larsson's rating: 94 points)
Medium deep garnet with a purpe hue. Nuanced nose blending raw meat, garrigue, sweet plum, Kirsch and ripe red berries. Nice density and weight with balanced proportions between finely grained tannins, abundant red fruit, leather, wild herbal spiciness and fine layers, warm and persistent finish.
