The wine  :  The Condrieu "La Combe de Malleval" from the Stéphane Ogier estate expresses all the finesse of Viognier on granite soils. On the nose, it is distinguished by intense aromas of ripe apricot, white peach and white flowers, underlined by a subtle minerality. On the palate, the attack is ample and generous, revealing a velvety texture and a nice tension which superbly balances its aromatic richness. A great white wine from the Rhône Valley that will wonderfully accompany delicate dishes such as grilled fish, shellfish or even poultry in sauce!

The estate: It was in 1997 that Stephane Ogier  joined the family estate, rooted for seven generations on the slopes of Ampuis. By taking over from his father Michel, he chose to carry out precise work on its different terroirs in order to reveal the unique character of these places full of history. Over the years, the estate has gone beyond the limits of the village with the desire to discover and enhance new terroirs. From his experience in Burgundy, Stéphane Ogier retains the taste for elegance and finesse, which has become characteristic of his wines.  Now with 18 hectares (13 of Syrah and 5 of Viognier),  He has been making wine since 2014 in an ultramodern cellar and shines a spotlight on the Rhône Valley through each of his vintages. Here, each plot is  vinified separately in order to have the best possible understanding of the terroirs. A very big name in the Rhone Valley that you haven't heard the last of!
