Description
Stéphane Ogier’s Côte-Rôtie Mon Village is a blend of half a dozen plots, the very heart and soul of the estate. It is a red wine of great elegance, characterised by red and black fruits such as raspberry and blackcurrant. It is also floral and silky, enjoyable in its youth but capable of ageing well.
The estate
It was in 1997 that Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate, which has been rooted in the hillsides of Ampuis for seven generations. Upon taking over from his father Michel, he chose to work meticulously on his various terroirs in order to reveal the unique character of these places steeped in history.
Over the years, the estate has expanded beyond the village boundaries, driven by a desire to discover and enhance new terroirs. From his experience in Burgundy, Stéphane Ogier retains a taste for elegance and finesse, which has become a hallmark of his wines. Each year, the winemaker takes care to vinify the plots separately, to bring out the best of their potential. The blends are adjusted according to the vintages, each telling a story of its own.
