2021 Stephane Ogier Cote Rotie Mon Village
Grape
Syrah
Its Origins
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. His magnificent new winery allows him to vinify by parcel – a fundamental principle for his project and long-term vision. There is no flight toward volume and anonymity; quite the contrary, and it is exciting indeed. Stéphane studied in Beaune, and he brings this Burgundian approach to terroir to the region. He works with multiple lieux-dits, both in and out of the appellation, vinifying each separately and using oak sparingly to allow the particularities of each to show. (BBR)
What The Critics Say
91/100 Jeb Dunnuck
"Unquestionably, one of the most exciting Domaines in the world of wine today is that of superstar winemaker Stephane Ogier. These wines shine for their purity of fruit as well as balance. While the expensive releases get all the attention, don’t miss the La Rosine, L’Ame Soeur, Saint Joseph, or Côte Rôtie Mon Village from this estate. These are terrific wines that offer loads of character and represent smoking values for the true wine lovers and wine drinkers out there. There are two Côte Rôties in the vintage from Ogier. Vinified from 100% destemmed grapes the 2021 Côte Rôtie Mon Village is forward and charming, with classic black raspberry, spice, spring flowers, and subtle gamey notes in its medium-bodied, silky, elegant profile. It shines in the vintage and is beautifully balanced."
94/100 Wine Spectator (2020 vintage)
"A generous, opulent style, with supple cascades of sappy cherry and fig on the dense palate. Shows great balance, with well-integrated warm vanilla, raspberry leaf, licorice root and singed sandalwood notes, plus bitter cherry, garrigue and tapenade elements that make a nice counterpoint to the lush fruit. Features silky tannins that glide through. Drink now through 2040
18/20 JancisRobinson.com, Alistair Cooper MW (2019 vintage)
"Tasted at the domaine. Very striking and voluptuous nose. Rounded with sweet seductive ripe fruits and a saline note – the tannins are incredibly fine and the intense palate shows dark fruit and real finesse. Soft and so velvety, already delicious! (AC)." Drink 2023 - 2032
