Tasting Notes
This is all about lift, finesse and lengthy expression. A purple-infused medley of floral black fruit, sweet spice and a velvety-smooth but playfully grippy texture that undulates throughout the palate. The classically serious depth and broad-shoulders of Cote-Rotie are here but with added poise and precision. A peacock-ing kaleidoscope of sweet and savoury; fruity and spicy. What a revelation.
More Info
Stephane Ogier is without a doubt, one of the most well-respected names in the Northern Rhone valley. Prior to producing Cote Rotie under their own name, the Ogier family used to sell their fruit to Guigal, one of the most prestigious producers in the northern Rhone. That all changed in 1987 when they began bottling wines under their own name and they have been on an upward trajectory ever since, scoring 100 points with Robert Parker in several vintages. Based just south of Ampuis, with vineyard holdings dotted throughout Cote Rotie, on the Cote Blonde, Brune and Cote Rosiers.
