Domaine Michel & Stéphane Ogier
Stéphane Ogier
La Rosine, L’Âme Sœur, Côte-Rôtie – Rhône Valley

Michel and Stéphane Ogier’s 12 hectare (30 acres) family Domaine is at Ampuis in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie. The vines grow on dry stone-walled terraces on very steep hillsides and are cared for by hand.
The soil is largely schist to the north of the appellation and granite further south, hence the wines’ elegance and complexity. Coaxing the absolute best from the Syrah and Viognier grapes is a never ceasing challenge !

Languedoc - Vin de Pays du Gard

This 10 hectares (25 acres) Domaine is in the Gard village of Langlade, renowned since the XV century for the finesse of its superb wines.  The vineyard covers a mosaic of land made up of flinty clay on muddy limestone. It’s mostly north facing, which means the wines are balanced and outstandingly fresh with good fruit.

Côte des blancs

The domaine covers round 15 hectares (37 acres) in the Premier Crus and Grand Crus areas of the Côte des Blancs (Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly). We cultivate along bio-dynamic principles.
