Tasting Notes
Open, hedonistic and lush. Pink peppercorn sprinkled plummy fruit, damson coulis, a hint of black olives and a gorgeous raspberry leaf and spice note. Classic Côte-Rôtie, with very fine tannins, good purity and ripeness of fruit. The bouquet is explosive, the texture is straight and the length exceptional.

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.
