Teeny tiny quantities produced, from a parcel of 65 year old vines on a steep, granite slope. Perhaps the most age worthy of all Condrieu out there, with gorgeous scents of chamomile and pineapple, flaked and ground almonds, a hint of freshly baked bread and gentle heady jasmine note. Rich and vivacious, although still very young, with a fine mineral backbone and lush palate.

Stephane Ogier is without a doubt, one of the most well-respected names in the Northern Rhone valley.Prior to producing Cote Rotie under their own name, the Ogier family used to sell their fruit to Guigal, one of the most prestigious producers in the northern Rhone. That all changed in 1987 when they began bottling wines under their own name and they have been on an upward trajectory ever since, scoring 100 points with Robert Parker in several vintages.Basedjust south of Ampuis,with vineyard holdingsdotted throughout Cote Rotie, on the Cote Blonde, Brune and Cote Rosiers.
