Domaine Michel and Stephane Ogier Cote Rotie Le Village 2014

This small 15 acre estate, located in the village of Ampuis, sold both their fruit and the wines Michael Ogier produced to Guigal before making and labelling their own wine in 1980. Today, Michel's son Stéphane, is largely responsible for Ogier's superb reputation for making concentrated yet elegant and beautifully balanced wines.

The Village cuvee is intended as an archetype of youthful, relatively approachable Cote- Rotie. The parcels concerned are Bassenon, Bourrier, Le Goutay, Gerine and parts of his holdings in Besset and Leyat.

"Perfumed and upfront, with lots of the classic raspberry, black cherry, mint, flowers and olive characteristics common in the region, it has medium-bodied richness, juicy acidity and a forward, deliciously quaffable profile that will make it hard to resist in its youth."
