Collines Rhodaniennes La Rosine Stéphane Ogier 2018

La «cuvée»

This Syrah comes from granite soils in the hills around the commune of Tupin-Semons. It is sustainably cultivated and harvested by hand. Destemming, maceration in thermoregulated stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts, maturation for 12 months in barrique barrels: all these steps contribute to the production of this intense, complex wine. The barrel élevage of some wines delivers woody, smoky notes. We also find black berries and violet – the typical aromas of this variety. This IGP Collines Rhodaniennes appellation wine is seductively supple and elegant, with a harmonious fruitiness. A lovely cuvée to be drunk while still young and fruity.

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 45 hectares of granite and shale soil (9 hectares are reserved for white vines). 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.
