Winemaking
Description
Lori Haon did not choose the easy path. In 2016, whilst still studying oenology in Alsace, she came across an abandoned domaine in Valliguières, in the Gard, advertised online, and decided to rebuild it almost from scratch. Amidst vineyards choked by undergrowth, she rescued old vines—some even a century old—and with them a very clear vision: to make vibrant wines, unadorned and deeply connected to their landscape. Le Petit Oratoire Jajatoès Blanc is born of that philosophy. It is a blend of Viognier, Garnacha Blanca and Clairette from the domaine’s lowland terroirs, in a warm area of the southern Rhône where the Mediterranean light ripens the fruit generously, but where the limestone soils and the winemaker’s measured touch preserve tension and freshness. Here, the aim is not unbridled exuberance, but a balance between sunshine, dry grass and a mineral edge.
Production
At Le Petit Oratoire Jajatoès Blanc, the harvest is carried out entirely by hand and the three varieties are vinified together in concrete tanks. This choice has a significant impact on the wine’s character: the concrete preserves the purity of the fruit and allows for gentle aeration, without burdening the wine with external notes. The winemaking process follows a minimalist approach, with organic viticulture, a very low dose of added sulphur dioxide, and a focus on prioritising the wine’s natural energy over any technical adjustments. With 13% alcohol, yields of around 50 hl/ha and a ageing potential of up to five years, Le Petit Oratoire Jajatoès Blanc is bottled as a white wine from the southern Rhône: frank, precise and surprisingly vibrant for its southern origin.
Taste
The nose of Le Petit Oratoire Jajatoès Blanc opens with ripe pineapple, lemon caramel and a burst of garrigue—that blend of dried herbs and Mediterranean scrub that gives it an immediate identity. But the best is yet to come on the palate, for where one might expect heavy body, freshness emerges instead. It enters with a gentle, almost enveloping texture, and immediately sharpens, stretches out and leaves a juicy, briny and very clean finish. The Viognier provides fragrance and body, the Garnacha Blanca breadth, and the Clairette lifts the whole with vigour and lightness. A sunny Mediterranean white wine, certainly, but one with vigour, balance and a truly refreshing finish.
