Côte-Rôtie Embruns Stéphane Ogier 2001

The wine

The domain has produced a wine with an intense nose, featuring aromas of cherries, blackcurrant, flowers (rose, violet) and white pepper. Its palate is delicious and concentrated, with dense, silky tannins. Its alcohol/acidity/tannic substance balance is remarkable. The wine ends with a fresh, fruity finish.

About the Producer Stéphane Ogier

As this estate on the hillsides of Ampuis has been in the family for seven generations, it was perfectly natural for Stéphane Ogier to take over from his father Michel in 1997. Having learned his craft in Burgundy, he has decided to produce single-plot wines to achieve the best expression of each terroir. He also strives constantly for elegance and finesse. Today, the vines are planted on 27 hectares of granite and shale soil. Viticulture is conducted according to sustainable principles. Two distinct terroirs define the estate’s identity: the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde, both shaped by a relatively cool climate. Since 2015, the estate operates in an ultramodern winery, equipped with over 600 barriques, ensuring precision in both vinification and ageing. Today, Stéphane Ogier’s wines clearly belong among the elite, thanks to his unwavering pursuit of excellence driven by passion, ambition, talent, and creativity.
