Our committee's review
Awarded two stars by the French wine guide RVF, Stéphane Ogier is one of the most closely watched winemakers in the Rhône Valley, crafting wines that capture the region’s finest expressions. His mastery of top-tier terroirs, sharp winemaking skills, and deep passion translate into wines of remarkable depth—bursting with ripe, generous fruit and bold intensity—while reaching new heights of complexity.
Today, Stéphane Ogier is at the top of his game, standing as a benchmark in the northern Rhône Valley. His recent vintages showcase incredible precision, with a more restrained use of oak, meticulous selection of single-vineyard wines, and a refined signature style that places his estate among the Rhône’s finest.
Every wine reflects this commitment to precision and excellence—even the more approachable ones, like La Rosine, often considered a "baby Côte-Rôtie" and a standout favorite of the Selection Committee.
Bordering the Côte-Rôtie appellation to the south, the 2022 La Rosine Red (Vin de France) transcends its classification, standing out as a remarkable expression of its terroir. As Robert Parker describes it, this is “a little Côte-Rôtie that doesn’t know it yet.” The wine opens with enticing smoky and savory bacon notes, delivering a striking purity that feels effortlessly expressive. On the palate, it remains tightly structured, concentrated, and ripe, yet remarkably fresh, with fine-grained tannins. The result is a beautifully balanced, irresistibly flavorful wine that is ready to enjoy now but will continue to evolve gracefully for at least another five years. A Selection Committee favorite, awarded 93/100.
