Stéphane Ogier, Côte-Rôtie Rèserve, Rhône, 2015

$199.00

Stéphane Ogier is one of the Rhône’s most acclaimed vignerons, known for crafting wines that balance power and finesse with a clear sense of place. His Côte-Rôtie Réserve comes from selected parcels across both the Côte Brune and Côte Blonde, planted mainly with Syrah and a small percentage of Viognier woven in for aromatic lift and texture. Sustainable farming, careful yields and gentle extraction preserve varietal purity.

The 2015 vintage is rich and composed, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and wild blueberry layered with smoked meat, violet, and subtle pepper spice. On the palate, the wine is dense and structured, with ripe tannins and focused acidity giving the wine presence. The finish is long and savory, showing the warmth of the vintage and the refined complexity that Côte-Rôtie is known for. A serious, age-worthy Rhône red that rewards early drinking with decanting and extended cellaring.

Varietal: Syrah
Appellation: Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Powerful, layered, and structured
