Stéphane Ogier is one of the names that changed how people think about the Northern Rhône. Raised in Ampuis, he brought a Burgundian mindset to Côte-Rôtie, carving the famed hill into micro-parcels and farming each with obsessive care. 'Mon Village' is his Côte-Rôtie blend drawing from both the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde, the two faces of the appellation. Expect the hallmark Ogier precision: gentle extraction, judicious whole clusters, framing oak, and that classic Northern Rhône interplay of dark fruit, smoke and savory spice. A fantastic way into a producer better known from auction catalogs than store shelves.
