Michel & Stéphane Ogier
About Michel & Stéphane Ogier
Having toiled the slopes of Ampuis for over 7 generations, the Ogier family had been selling their fruit to negociants up until 1982 when they decided to bottle their own wines. Given that their two biggest customers were Guigal and Chapoutier, one should not be surprised at the calibre of this family-owned estate.
Having cut his teeth in the vineyards of Beaune and South Africa, Stéphane joined the family Domaine in 1997 and embraced a terroir-driven approach, where he vinifies his Côte-Rôtie by individual parcels. From over 27 hectares of vines, Stéphane produces about 15 different cuvées, and it is his single-vineyard Côte-Rôtie that are the most sought after.
“Ogier bottles several single-vineyard wines each year: La Côte Blonde, Lancement and La Belle Hélène (from Côte Rozier) but also makes the individual components that go into his Reserve bottling available as part of a tasting pack. Going through the entire lineup is a lesson in the geography of the appellation—an experience any serious lover of Côte-Rôtie should have on their bucket list.” - Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate)

Wine Advocate (95)The largest cuvee (20,000 bottles) is the 2010 Cote Rotie Classique, Stephane Ogier’s “greatest vintage to date.” Seventy percent of the fruit comes from their holdings on the Cote Brune. It boasts a dense purple color along with a sweet nose of asphalt, licorice, forest floor, blackberries, cassis and bouquet garni, sensational concentration and sweet tannins. The structure, freshness and minerality suggest another 3-4 years of cellaring may be beneficial. It has 25 years of potential evolution. |

Wine Advocate (98)Even better (yet we split hairs here), the 2011 Cote Rotie La Belle Helene, which comes all from the Cote Rozier lieu-dit, possesses a liquid rock-like minerality to go with notions of black raspberry, smoked meat, graphite, black olive and underbrush. The most masculine, firm and concentrated in the lineup, it has full-bodied richness, rocking concentration and masses of ultra-fine tannin that build on the palate. It’s approachable now due to the overall quality of the fruit and tannin, yet it will be better in another couple of years, and drink well for two decades. |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)One of the wines of the vintage, the 2015 Côte Rôtie Belle Helene is up there with the handful of greatest young Syrahs I've ever been lucky enough to taste. Coming all from the Côte Rozier lieu-dit in the northern portion of the appellation, just above Guigal's la Landonne lieu-dit, this majestic wine offers incredible blue fruits, liquid violets, olive tapenade, and aged meats. Full-bodied, ultra-fine, deep, concentrated, and as seamless and pure as it gets. It's already approachable (which is rare for this cuvée) due to its perfectly ripe tannin, yet will need 7-8 years of bottle age and keep for 2-3 decades. |

Vinous (96)Vivid purple. Powerful, mineral-accented black and blue fruit liqueur, incense and floral pastille aromas take on exotic spice and licorice nuances with aeration. Sappy and deeply concentrated, offering sappy blueberry, cassis and fruitcake flavors that are given vibrant lift by smoky mineral and spice flourishes. The mineral note drives an extremely long, energetic, blue-fruit-dominated finish, where chewy tannins provide shape and solid grip. This a distinctly deep rendition of this bottling, but the usual precision is there as well. |
