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 village limits 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 gain the best possible understanding of the terroirs. A truly great name of the Rhône Valley that you will be hearing much more about!
