“Moving to the reds, the 2020 C tes Du Rh ne Le Temps Est Venu has a round, seamless, incredibly pretty style as well as assorted red and black cherry fruits, notes of peppery spice and flowers, soft tannins, and a great finish. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah brought up in tank and concrete, it’s a delicious C tes Du Rh ne to enjoy over the coming 5-6 years or so.”

“A blend of fruit from the Southern Rh ne, the 2020 Cotes du Rhone le Temps Est Venu features a hint of garrigeu set against a backdrop of ripe cherries and black cherries. Medium to full-bodied, it's a supple, silky wine to enjoy over the next 4-5 years.”

“Delivers light alder and sandalwood notes that lace up a core of gently mulled cherry and raspberry fruit. Grenache, Syrah and Mourv dre. Drink now. 16,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported. — JM“
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.
