As this domain on the hillsides of Ampuis has been in the family for seven generations, it was perfectly natural for Stéphane Ogier to take over from his father Michel. Having learned his craft in Burgundy, he has decided to produce single parcel wines to achieve the best expression of each terroir. He also strives constantly for elegance and finesse. Today, the vines are planted on 27 hectares of granite and shale soil and cultivated sustainably. Tillage, organic treatments, no yeast and a short maceration process are the watchwords.

After a total destemming in order to preserve the intensity of the fruit, there is a maturation of 18 months in demi-muids in order to bring out all the cru’s finesse. After some time, the nose becomes very expressive and supple with some pleasant hints of tobacco. On the nose, the wine has intense aromas of candied fruit and cloves. On the palate, a luscious texture joins with its aromatic bouquet. It rounds off with a fresh finish and has excellent ageing potential.
