“Smooth, fresh and juicy with lovely floral notes and silky texture; rich and elegant, long and expressive.”

“Very opulent style, there’s some enjoyable bitter orange on the finish, and a touch of green almond bitterness. Good freshness with good depth of fruit. Not long, but very good Rhône Viognier. Drinking Window 2021 - 2023”

“Lovely, with chamomile and honeysuckle notes leading off, followed by yellow apple, white peach and starfruit flavors. Has a lushness, but stays very bright and juicy overall. Drink now through 2022.”
About The Winery
The Ogier family has been rooted in Ampuis for seven generations. From the age of six, current owner and winemaker Stéphane knew he wanted to follow in his winemaker father's footsteps. In 1997, after completing his oenological studies in Beaune, Stéphane formally joined the family estate. The domaine produces wines from 27 acres of vineyards in some of the most famous Côte-Rôtie areas, such as Lancement, Côte-Rozier, and La Viallière. Aside from his Côte-Rôtie wines, Stéphane also produces a Côtes du Rhône (Le Temps est Venu) and several Syrah wines (L'Ame Soeur, La Rosine). In 20 years, total production has grown from 15,000 to 300,000 bottles. Today, the wines have become a reference point for the appellation and are sought after by the greatest chefs and most serious wine lovers around the world.
