Côte-Rôtie Stéphane Ogier 2003
The wine
This Côte-Rôtie is fresh, fruity and spicy on the nose, and nicely balanced on the palate. There is just the right amount of power, and also a lovely freshness and finesse. A wonderful wine produced with great respect for the land from which it comes.
About the Producer 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.
