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

The estate : It was in 1997 that Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate, rooted for seven generations on the hillsides of Ampuis. Taking over from his father Michel, he chose to work precisely on his 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 a taste for elegance and finesse, which has become characteristic of his wines. Now with 18 hectares (13 of Syrah and 5 of Viognier), since 2014 he has been vinifying in an ultra-modern winery and showcasing the Rhône Valley through each of his cuvées. Here, each plot is vinified separately in order to have the best possible understanding of the terroirs. A great name of the Rhône Valley that you will be hearing much more about!
