Description
Stéphane Ogier’s La Rosine is a fruity, rich and elegant IGP Collines Rhodaniennes. On the nose, one immediately detects notes of blackcurrant and tapenade, with hints of violet. The texture is delicate, with minimal extraction; the concentration is moderate to ensure a lovely aromatic freshness. A wonderful introduction to the world of Stéphane Ogier!
The estate
In 1997, 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 with his various terroirs to reveal the unique character of these historic sites.
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.
