The Ogier family have been established growers in Ampuis for over seven generations, but it was only in the 1980s that they began vinifying their own grapes. Stéphane joined the family estate in 1997, working alongside his father Michel, before taking over in 2003.
Heralded by some as the face of the Northern Rhône’s new generation, he continues to go from strength to strength.

Description
Medium bodied with dramatic aromas of pineapple, apricot and citrus fruit. Wonderfully refreshing acidity. Much of Stephane Ogier’s success is not due to the brilliance of his wines from the famous appellation of Côte-Rôtie but rather to his exploration and development of this wine, the hitherto unfashionable and long ignored areas of Vin de Pays in the Northern Rhône. The huge following for this wine from the six hectare La Rosine vineyard situated between Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu has subsequently encouraged many other growers in the area to seek out similar types of land for planting.Details
