In the Rhône Valley, the history of the Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes dates back to the 19th century and more precisely to 1880 when Edouard Amouroux, through his marriage, received a beautiful plot of vines located in a Clos. That day, the Clos des Oratoriens was born. It was named after the oratory located below the said plot. Built in the 18th century, this small chapel dedicated to Saint-Marc, patron saint of winegrowers and protector of vines against bad weather, is still the destination of annual religious processions.

Then, in 1926, his son, Léonce Amouroux, created Maison Amouroux and decided to rename his wine "Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes" in memory of the Popes who had erected their summer palace in the 14th century on the heights of village which is today called Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Today, Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes is one of the most legendary wine brands and labels in the appellation, recognized throughout the world.
