A top class Condrieu from one of the Rhône Valley's icons. More info

Grown in a small plot with granite soil, the old Viognier vines are late-harvested by hand. The grapes undergo direct maceration, and are barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then matured for 10 months on fine lees. This Condrieu, with its pale colour and golden hues, delivers aromas of stone fruit and a generous, creamy, delicate palate. It is a wine to be enjoyed with a ceviche of cod with mango, or a plum pie.

Condrieu Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay Michel et Stéphane Ogier serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Ecrevisses rôties au beurre de crustacé, Risotto aux langoustines épicées, Coquilles Saint-Jacques aux cèpes.

    Information about domain Stéphane Ogier

    As this domain 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. Having learned his craft in Burgundy, he has decided to produce single parcel 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 and cultivated sustainably. Tillage, organic treatments, no yeast and a short maceration process are the watchwords.
