The wine : A blend of several plots from Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, this Côte Rôtie 100% Syrah by Stéphane Ogier has been very finely aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Its body is velvety, its bouquet captivating, and its texture of great finesse. Aromas of violet, dark fruits, and spices (pepper) will charm you from the moment you open it! A superb wine with vibrant fruitiness, enjoyable from its youth but also capable of improving for 15 years or more. Delicious and complex!

The estate : It was in 1997 that Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate, rooted for seven generations on the hillsides of Ampuis. By succeeding his father Michel, he chose to carry out precise work on his different terroirs in order to reveal the unique character of these places filled with history. Over the years, the estate has expanded beyond the boundaries of the village, driven by 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 gain the best possible understanding of the terroirs. A truly great name from the Rhône Valley that you will be hearing much more about!
