The Story Behind the Bottle
Wine Spectator described Stéphane Ogier’s wines as “dynamic and elite”, while Wine Advocate wrote “the estate is unquestionably in the top handful of domaines in the Rhône Valley”. The family were apricot growers, then fortuitously changed to grapes. Such was the quality that, until 1982, they sold all the fruit to top estates Guigal and Chapoutier. Stéphane gained experience in Beaune and Stellenbosch before taking over from his father in 2003, adding extensively to the vineyards (in Côte Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph) and building himself a gleaming, modern cellar. This brilliant white is a delicious, intriguing blend of native Rhône grapes Grenache, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette and Bourboulenc. Superbly balanced and long.
