Blindfolded, you’d definitely and wrongfully think this is a Côte-Rôtie—it’s a true silky, velvety delight. Blackberry, raspberry, violet, pepper, mocha… A perfect match with a beef roast or a leg of lamb.
Stéphane Ogier
Stéphane Ogier represents the seventh generation of a long line of Rhône vignerons. Today, he oversees just over twenty hectares spanning Côte-Rôtie (where he holds 3.5 ha), as well as Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, Côtes du Rhône, the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes, and the hillside of Seyssuel. After studying for five years in Beaune and gaining winemaking experience in South Africa, Stéphane joined his father at Domaine Ogier in 1997 — nearly 30 years ago now. How to sum up the career of such a gifted winemaker, whose cuvées often stand shoulder to shoulder with — and sometimes above — the most prestigious names of Côte-Rôtie? Maybe today, he is that great name. From his stunning cellar in Ampuis, Stéphane continues to push boundaries, crafting parcel-based wines that reveal the finesse, individuality, and complexity of each terroir. A relentless pursuit of precision that keeps on impressing. The domaine proudly holds two stars in the 2025 Revue du Vin de France Guide.
