| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by beatles on 5/1/2020 & rated 92 points: Tasted over two days, no signs of fatigue, this has a good core of fruit with minerals overtones and good acidity. Cool, balanced wine, certainly wit a sense og your playful Condrieu, without overbard. (1033 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 4/1/2016 & rated 92 points: Its been 2 years since we crossed paths with this wine (twice rated 91) and we have t say this has definitely evolved nicely into a good and relatively mature wine. Overall felt more complex and serious and in good balanced. Light waxy , light tropical, good depth. We thought we should have had this a lot younger and that we missed its peak 2 years ago but we were wrong. Drinks very nicely now. 92-93 (965 views) | | | Tasted by Winiac on 8/24/2015 & rated 89 points: A bit alcohol escapes, but otherwise it is like a California Viognier with an under tone of minerality that tells it apart. (887 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 5/26/2014 & rated 91 points: Very consistent to 3m ago. Very exotic nose, banana and rich tropical fruit. Much like last time it does nto deliver as promised ont he palate although not as dissapointing as last time. Still has life ahead of it but we wonder if we have left this too late already. 91 at best. (1324 views) | | | Tasted by bon vivant on 3/21/2014: Thanks Jeb for sharing a great bottle, while I prefer Condrieu young this was just a great bottle .. -tasty stuff (1209 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 3/16/2014 & rated 91 points: Quite on the exotic side, banana notes, tropical fruit. On the palate it is a touch of a let down to be honest, given the old vignes we were expecting it to be a lot more concentrated and complex. Its a good wine but not sure its that much better than the combe de la malleval to be honest. 91 drinks nicely now (1154 views) | | | Tasted by Ilker Ozdemir on 11/29/2012 & rated 94 points: Açıkparlak,altın sarısı.Aromatik ön burnunda gül gibi floral,kayısı,narenciye kabuğu,şeftali,mineral,vanilya notları ile katmanlı. Ortanın az üstü gövdeli,belirgin asidi ile oldukça fresh.Konsantrasyonu diğer şaraplardan çok daha kuvvetli.Fıçı entegrasyonu başarılı.Orta uzunluktaki bitimi,hissedilen mineral notları ve bunlara eşlik eden diri asidin getirdiği canlılık ile oldukça komplex ve lezzetli.

History has shown that good things happen in the Northern Rhône when growers put on the winemaking hat. Like many people of the region, the Ogier family were polycultural farmers for generations. Included in their repertoire were exceptional grapes planted on the steep slopes of Côte Rôtie. For many years, they sold their production to négociant Marcel Guigal until the day that Michel Ogier decided to make and bottle his own wine. Now 30 years later, Ogier d’Ampuis has established a reputation that rivals even the grandest, most established producers in the region. Stéphane began taking over winemaking responsibilities from his father in the late 1990s after finishing oenology school in Burgundy. Following his father’s philosophy, he has relentlessly taken great care to produce the best wines possible but also is a dynamic force for change,
expanding the estate and experimenting with various vinification techniques.
“One of France’s most brilliant small artisanal wineries… Ogier’s wines just keep getting better and better, so if you haven’t yet jumped on the Ogier bandwagon, it’s time to do so.” –Robert Parker
“Every vintage is different, so I tend to work a little different each year. All the work we do is geared towards making the difference in the end. Perhaps we can see an evolution of the domaine style and at the same time keep the Ogier style of wines developed by my father– the true expression of the terroir by finesse and delicacy.” –Stéphane Ogier

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
