description Stéphane Ogier Overview
Stéphane Ogier is a French winemaker representing the seventh generation of his family's estate in the Northern Rhône Valley. He applies modern viticultural and winemaking techniques to produce wines from the Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu appellations. The estate's flagship wines are primarily made from Syrah, sometimes co-fermented with small amounts of Viognier, alongside pure Viognier whites from Condrieu. Ogier has expanded the family's holdings and implemented techniques such as temperature-controlled fermentation to produce wines that balance traditional regional characteristics with contemporary fruit expression.
help Stéphane Ogier FAQ
Is Stéphane Ogier's estate the same as the large Maison Ogier in Châteauneuf-du-Pape?
No. Stéphane Ogier's family domaine is based in Ampuis in the Northern Rhône and is especially associated with Côte-Rôtie, while Maison Ogier is a separate producer rooted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Which grape defines Stéphane Ogier's Côte-Rôtie wines?
Syrah is the principal red grape of Côte-Rôtie, and Ogier produces both blended and site-specific expressions of it. Côte-Rôtie rules also permit a limited amount of the white grape Viognier in red wine.
What is Stéphane Ogier's La Belle Hélène?
La Belle Hélène is a rare, high-end Côte-Rôtie cuvée from the Côte Rozier sector. It is built for aging and sits above the domaine's more accessible Northern Rhône bottlings.
Does Stéphane Ogier make Condrieu as well as Côte-Rôtie?
Yes, the domaine makes Condrieu from Viognier as well as Syrah-based Côte-Rôtie and other Rhône wines. Condrieu is a white-wine appellation immediately south of Côte-Rôtie in the Northern Rhône.
