2020 Côtes du Rhône Le Temps Est Venu, Stéphane Ogier
£17.00
“The 2020 Côtes Du Rhône Le Temps Est Venu has a round, seamless, incredibly pretty style as well as assorted red and black cherry fruits, notes of peppery spice and flowers, soft tannins, and a great finish. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah brought up in tank and concrete, it’s a delicious Côtes Du Rhône to enjoy over the coming 5-6 years or so.”
92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“Precise, elegant Côtes du Rhône. Definitely a cut above what one might expect for this appellation. Spicy fruit, some dark-olive notes. Sweetness here. Lovely purity and focus. Peppery finish. A fine Côtes du Rhone.”
16/20 Andy Howard MW for Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
It was in 1997 that Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate, rooted for seven generations on the hillsides of Ampuis. By taking over from his father Michel, he chose to carry out precise work on its different terroirs in order to reveal the unique character of these places full of history.
Over the years, the estate has gone beyond the limits of the village with the desire to discover and enhance new terroirs. From his experience in Burgundy, Stéphane Ogier retains the taste for elegance and finesse, which has become characteristic of his wines. Each year, the winemaker strives to vinify the plots separately, to bring out the best of their potential. The blends are adjusted according to the vintages, like so many stories to tell around his vintages.
