Deep purple hue with blueish tinges. The nose opens up with a combination of black cherry, juniper berry, pepper and sweet spice. After a few swirls in the glass it evolves towards notes of crushed raspberry, cherry, chocolate and subtle notes of dried herbs reminiscent of the scrublands in summer. In its youth this wine is dominated by notes of red and black fruits intertwined with a touch of licorice and pepper. The tannins are well defined yet velvety smooth and persistent.
Producer Information
Ogier is a French wine company based in Chteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhne. The business was founded in 1859 when Antoine Ogier acquired an old cooperage and set up a ngociant firm. This became a ngociant-leveur in 1948 when the company bought its own cellars to blend and age wines bought from other producers. Ogier merged with another negociant, Caves des Papes, and this combined business was purchased by Maison Jeanjean of the Languedoc in 1994. Jeanjean in turn joined with Laroche in 2010 to form AdVini SA. Today, Ogier makes a range of wines from around the southern Rhne. The portfolio includes a quartet of red Chteauneuf wines sourced from and named after the main terroir types within the appellation. Red, white and ros wines are also made from Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Rasteau, Lirac, Tavel, and Ctes du Rhne at standard and Villages level. In 2000, Ogier-Caves des Papes expanded its operations into estate-grown wines by purchasing Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes in Chteauneuf-du-Pape, with 20 hectares (50 acres) of vineyards. Since then, the wines have been made at other Ogier facilities, but aged at Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes cellars in the town. More recently, Ogier has acquired another nine hectares (22 acres) of Chteauneuf-du-Pape and Ctes-du-Rhne vineyards, along with a new winery at Courthzon, just east of Chteauneuf-du-Pape. Since 2004, Ogier has also owned the Notre Dame de Cousignac estate in the Ardche, which boasts 60 hectares (150 acres) of organically farmed vineyards and produces wine classified as Ctes du Rhne and Ctes du Vivarais. Ogier should not be confused with the northern Rhne producer, Stphane Ogier, based in Ampuis.
