2021 Stephane Ogier Côte-Rôtie Mon Village Magnum

domaine Stéphane Ogier and the tradition of Côte-Rôtie

Domaine Stéphane Ogier is one of the leading producers in the northern Rhône. The estate is located in Ampuis, the historic heart of the Côte-Rôtie. The family has worked for generations in the steep vineyards where Syrah plays a dominant role. The vineyards are situated on terraces with a mix of slate, mica, and granite. These soils produce wines with aromatic precision, tension, and length.

Stéphane Ogier is known for a meticulous approach in both the vineyard and the cellar. The grapes are harvested by hand, plot by plot. Since 2018, he has been working without new oak in his Côte-Rôties. He primarily uses larger Austrian demi-muids to preserve the fruit's clarity. This choice produces wines with pure aromas and an elegant style.

the terroir of Côte-Rôtie and the style of Mon Village

Côte-Rôtie is known for its steep slopes and cool, continental climate. The mistral keeps the vineyards dry and ensures healthy grapes. The soils vary by lieu-dit, from granite in Côte Brune to mica and slate in Côte Blonde. The wines from this region display red fruit, floral notes, and refined tannins.

Mon Village is a selection from various plots in and around Ampuis. This cuvée offers a broad impression of the appellation. The style is accessible, refined, and focused on fruit. It's a wine that truly showcases the estate's signature.
