Technical Details
Estate
After more than 160 years, Ogier has grown to become one of the leading producers in the Rhône Valley. Most of its land holdings are in the Southern Rhône area producing wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Lirac. The Estate also makes small but exceptional bottlings from parcels within the most notable appellations of the Northern Rhône - Crozes-Hermitage and Côte Rôtie. Ogier’s wines are an ode to finesse, elegance and freshness.
Tasting notes
Deep red cherry color with a bouquet of ripe red fruits, hints of leather and mild spices. Complex and mineral character. Full bodied with fresh aromas - very elegant, silky and attractive tannins with a long finish on vanilla notes.
Vinification
Destemming – crushing – cold pre-fermentation maceration (12°C) during 4 days – controlled temperature at 27/28 °C during maceration and long vatting of 25 days for the Grenache and 35 days for the other grape varieties – 2 times of racking during fermentation and pumping over – punching down the cap during maceration – devatting upon tasting.
Food pairing
Drink this wine with game, red meat, casseroles & full-flavored dishes.
